This is one of my favorite photos of the August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse from Guernsey State Park in Wyoming. The expansive corona was a gift due to an unusually high number of sunspots and magnetic activity on the solar disk at the time. The April 8, 2024 eclipse is expected to be just as or even more vivid. Gary A. Becker image... |
The diameter of the pinhole to the screen distance, ideally should be 1:400. A normal pinhole creates a distance of approximately 16 inches for the screen location. Brewer, Bryan, Eclipse, Earth View, Inc., Seattle, WA, 1970, p.82... |

Solar Snap: This was my first attempt to image with Solar Snap and probably my last since I have other equipment that I will be using to capture the eclipse. Users of this application will have to practice multiple times in order to be successful in photographing the sun. Make sure your phone's brightness is set to maximum, because the sun makes the screen difficult to view. This also includes the filtered sun. Also be prepared for a little frustration as you develop your techniques to obtain acceptable results. Gary A. Becker images... |
