Here’s the moment when the “Full Harvest Moon / Super Moon” touched the lantern of the Old Head of Kinsale Lighthouse; as it rises over a flat-calm Courtmacsherry Bay in West Cork, Ireland on 17/09/2024! 🤩🥰📸🌽🌕🌙🌊🚤✨❤️ #SuperMoon #fullmoon #moon #Eclipse2024 #LunarEclipse #lighthouse #Cork #Ireland #september #equinox #Autumn #weather #autumnequinox #astronomy #astrophotography #photo #photography #mastophoto #mastodaoine #silentsunday #landscape #landscapephotography #art #sea #ocean #colour

#Eclipse2024 #Corona

Finally had some time to process my photos of the polarized solar corona during the 2024-4-8 total eclipse. Shown here in false colour, the linear polarization angle is encoded into colour.
The corona's polarization is perpendicular to the radius.

From 12 colour photos taken between 15:27:46 and 15:29:28 with f/5.6; ISO-250; f = 128 mm; four exposure times 1/50, 1/5, 1, 2.5 sec. with three polarizations each: vertical (zenith toward top of image), +60°, et -60°.

@flyingsquirrel Thanks. That makes me feel slightly better, because we were never going to hang out at the side of the road near Elmira for 3 hours.

I wax actually surprised at how many people we saw at the side of the road. I speculate that making a relatively small effort for the total eclipse primed people to get out for the aurora.

Continued thread

Finally got around to uploading the rest of my #eclipse photos and adding them to my #eclipse2024 album: flickr.com/photos/brownpau/alb -- including the partial phases and totality exposures at different shutter speeds.

--This 0.3s exposure which I initially thought was too washed out turned out to be the best one: flic.kr/p/2pQ64SZ
