The Solar Eclipses of 2023 and 2024: a Post-Mortem Report | 2024-07-28

Steve spoke here on TAIC last September about the then-upcoming annular solar eclipse of 2023 and the total solar eclipse of 2024. Tonight, he'll follow up with us to share his adventures and talk about how his imaging went. He’ll discuss his experiences, imaging strategies, successes and failures. He’ll share some images, videos, and the processing techniques as well. He hopes to inspire viewers to look at their own eclipse images in a new way and to consider chasing the next total solar eclipse in 2026!

Steve Zigler photographed his first total eclipse in 2017 from a remote hayfield near Guernsey, Wyoming. Steve’s second eclipse experience took place in central Chile in 2019. Steve’s ambitious goal is to spend 20 cumulative minutes in totality under the shadow of the moon. Steve lives in Knoxville and overly indulges in landscape photography, night photography, and deep sky astroimaging.

Hi Steve, Gordon from Solar Eclipse Timer here. Just watched your talk, it was very good! I backed out of my primary spot in Texas due to the weather and went to my secondary spot in Missouri and had great conditions. Thanks for sharing your work.
