2024 Solar Eclipse Teaser from Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge

Here's a teaser time-lapse of eight of the over 350 still photographs I took of the eclipse on Monday. Unlike the 2017 eclipse, where I dedicated one camera for the partial phase and one for totality and took pictures every 5 minutes, I took pictures with every minute with both cameras this year (one with the orange mylar filter and one with a neutral density filter). These are just a selection of stills from one camera with the mylar filter: near 12:45 PM (First Contact), 1:15 PM, 1:45 PM, 2 PM (Second Contact, no filter), 2:04 PM (Third Contact, exit diamond ring, no filter), 2:15 PM, 2:45 PM, and 3:15 PM (Fourth Contact). Will share the longer time-lapse video in a week or so.
