Pre-Totality 3611 viewsTo feel creep up the curving east
The earthy chill of dusk and slow
Upon those under lands the vast
And ever climbing shadow grow

Gone625 viewsThe Sun has set. The flat and featureless terrain of the Outback stretches far away.

Pre-Totality 7666 viewsAnd deepen on Palmyra’s street
The wheel rut in the ruined stone
And Lebanon fade out and Crete
High through the clouds and overblown

First Contact694 viewsAt 12:39:58.1, local time, the Moon starts to encroach on the disk of the Sun. Since there is not much to say about partial phase eclipse images, I have captioned them with stanzas from Archibald Macleish's poem "You, Andrew Marvell" - a magical piece which best conveys the awe and wonder of the stunning natural spectacle we know as a total eclipse of the Sun - and, in the case of the post-totality shots, a few verses from other metaphysical works.

First Contact plus 6 minutes596 viewsThe lightweight mount I was using made the scope sensitive to vibration - hence the shaky picture.

Diamond Ring683 viewsThe Diamond Ring heralds the end of totality at 13:58:47 local time.

Totality622 viewsTotality began at 7:41:20 and lasted for about 25 seconds.

Totality minus 1 minute670 viewsC2 - 1 min 16 sec

The annular solar eclipse of October 14, 2023 - Montage of 24 images691 viewsA montage illustrating the progress of the annular eclipse of October 14, 2023, as seen from Bryce Point, Bryce Canyon, Utah, from immediately prior to first contact to immediately after fourth contactNov 17, 2023

Comet 2020/F3 NEOWISE905 viewsConditions for photographing Comet NEOWISE from my observatory near Anza, California were less than ideal. The comet was visible only in the northwest for a couple hours after sunset, at most, which put it squarely in the Los Angeles light dome. Another factor involved was the inexperience of the photographer - I hadn't done any night shooting with my DSLR before and I never got the camera focused properly, so the stars came out somewhat bloated and fuzzy. They also show some coma, I don't know why. But at least the comet itself came out reasonably well.Aug 23, 2020

Pre-Totality 6709 viewsAnd Baghdad darken and the bridge
Across the silent river gone
And through Arabia the edge
Of evening widen and steal onSep 07, 2019

Pre-Totality 8586 viewsAnd over Sicily the air
Still flashing with the landward gulls
And loom and slowly disappear
The sails above the shadowy hullsSep 07, 2019

Pre-Totality 7666 viewsAnd deepen on Palmyra’s street
The wheel rut in the ruined stone
And Lebanon fade out and Crete
High through the clouds and overblownSep 07, 2019

Pre-Totality 2621 viewsAnd here face down beneath the sun
And here upon earth’s noonward height
To feel the always coming on
The always rising of the night:Sep 07, 2019

Pre-Totality 3611 viewsTo feel creep up the curving east
The earthy chill of dusk and slow
Upon those under lands the vast
And ever climbing shadow growSep 07, 2019

Pre-Totality 9626 viewsAnd Spain go under and the shore
Of Africa the gilded sand
And evening vanish and no more
The low pale light across that landSep 07, 2019
