How It Feels to Watch a Total Solar Eclipse

On this astrophotography adventure, I set off on a cross country journey to photograph the total solar eclipse on April 8th, 2024. What I captured was more than I expected, but in a different kind of light.
Please never, ever look at the Sun without the proper protection, and especially not through binoculars or a telescope.
