We saw the 2017 total solar eclipse in Hendersonville, TN. Woohoo!
It was nice that many family members were able to see one with us
for a change.
We rented a house on a lake north of Nashville for the weekend.
Eclipse photos below by my nephew, Sam Rieger. (Click on photo for full size.)
To see why we picked Nashville, and other related info, look here.
Partial eclipse through thin clouds: (using my solar filter)
Two shots of totality (no filter needed).
In the first, the star Regulus is more visible, at about 10:00
from the sun:
In the second, I think you can see detail in the corona better:
Nice shot at the end of totality: "diamond ring" effect, with some
corona still visible:
