Eclipse Photo Composition
by Jared Smith 21 May '12

21 May '12

http://smithplanet.com/astro/solarsystem/solar/annular/finalSmall.jpg Had a great time this evening watching the eclipse in Cache Valley! About 200 people (many of whom I didn't even know) cycled through my yard looking through the telescopes. I had to fight them off to get photos every 15 minutes or so. I'll post some more detailed photos tomorrow. Jared

Here’s that jetliner that passed in front of my field of view in the last few minutes before the conclusion of the annular eclipse of 20 May 2012. http://www.flickr.com/photos/78046474@N06/sets/72157629825790846/

I had a perfect view of the eclipse from my siter's house in St. George. As the eclipse proceeded, the amount of outside light reduced the same as it would through haise. When the ring of fire appeared, it started to get cooler outside, and my sister's porch light came on. The eclipse was a very inspiring experience. ----- Original Message ----- From: utah-astronomy-request(a)mailman.xmission.com To: utah-astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com Sent: Mon, 21 May 2012 02:20:38 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Utah-Astronomy Digest, Vol 111, Issue 101 Send Utah-Astronomy mailing list submissions to utah-astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to utah-astronomy-request(a)mailman.xmission.com You can reach the person managing the list at utah-astronomy-owner(a)mailman.xmission.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Utah-Astronomy digest..."
