First Contact plus 6 minutes346 viewsThe lightweight mount I was using made the scope sensitive to vibration - hence the shaky picture. About 20 minutes after First Contact429 viewsA big chunk of the Sun is gone already. 12 minutes to Second Contact350 viewsSeems like the Moon has a long way to go to annularity - will it make it in time? About 4 minutes from Second Contact423 viewsThe Moon is rapidly overtaking the Sun. Second Contact506 viewsWith an annular eclipse, Second Contact is the moment when the Moon's disk becomes fully enclosed by the Sun's. Maximum Annularity415 viewsThis was the closest I could get to maximum annularity, when the outer edge of the Moon's disk is equidistant at all points from the edge of the Sun. Third Contact plus ~38 minutes424 viewsUnlike the H-alpha filter, the white light filter doesn't reverse the view, so we are seeing the real deal. The Sun sets in the weeds387 viewsThe still-partially-eclipsed sun is being increasingly obscured by tree branches on a distant hillside - but they look more like weeds in this view. Nearing sunset443 viewsThe foreground trees show up a little better in this shot. Sundown425 viewsTaken just after sunset, this unfiltered shot provided a fitting conclusion to the eclipse experience.   11 files on 1 page(s) Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 1851603dc67714912bd1fc5190217c58 [am] => 1 [liv_a] => Array ( ) ) ========================== USER DATA: ------------------ Array ( [user_id] => 0 [user_name] => Guest [groups] => Array ( [0] => 3 ) [group_quota] => 0 [can_rate_pictures] => 1 [can_send_ecards] => 0 [can_post_comments] => 0 [can_upload_pictures] => 0 [can_create_albums] => 0 [pub_upl_need_approval] => 1 [priv_upl_need_approval] => 1 [access_level] => 3 [disk_max] => 0 [disk_min] => 0 [has_admin_access] => 0 [group_name] => Guests [can_create_public_albums] => 0 [can_see_all_albums] => 0 [group_id] => 3 [allowed_albums] => Array ( ) ) ========================== Queries: ------------------ Array ( [0] => SELECT name, value FROM cm_config [include/init.inc.php:177] (0.79 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.5 ms) [2] => SELECT MAX(group_quota) AS disk_max, MIN(group_quota) AS disk_min, MAX(can_rate_pictures) AS can_rate_pictures, MAX(can_send_ecards) AS can_send_ecards, MAX(can_post_comments) AS can_post_comments, MAX(can_upload_pictures) AS can_upload_pictures, MAX(can_create_albums) AS can_create_albums, MAX(has_admin_access) AS has_admin_access, MAX(access_level) AS access_level, MIN(pub_upl_need_approval) AS pub_upl_need_approval, MIN( priv_upl_need_approval) AS priv_upl_need_approval FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:350] (1.43 ms) [3] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.55 ms) [4] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.41 ms) [5] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.49 ms) [6] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.49 ms) [7] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2025-12-01 02:45:05' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.94 ms) [8] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.216.55' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.72 ms) [9] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.27 ms) [10] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 8 [thumbnails.php:96] (0.62 ms) [11] => SELECT p.cid, p.name FROM cm_categories AS c, cm_categories AS p WHERE c.lft BETWEEN p.lft AND p.rgt AND c.cid = 12 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2940] (0.5 ms) [12] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '8' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.68 ms) [13] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '8' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.65 ms) [14] => SELECT title, keyword FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 8 [include/functions.inc.php:2461] (0.55 ms) [15] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures WHERE ((aid='8' AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) ) AND approved='YES' [include/functions.inc.php:1408] (1.02 ms) [16] => SELECT r.pid, r.aid, filepath, filename, url_prefix, pwidth, pheight, filesize, ctime, r.title, r.keywords, r.votes, pic_rating, hits, caption, r.owner_id, user1, user2, user3, user4 FROM cm_pictures AS r WHERE ((aid = 8 AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) )AND approved='YES' ORDER BY position ASC, pid ASC LIMIT 0 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1439] (1.41 ms) [17] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.55 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => 8 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( ) ==========================
