Changde Wu    2024-04-11

April 8, 2024 was a wonderful day for watching Sun Eclipse close to the home in New England. I did so in Champlain Country Club at Fonda, Vermont. The day is ok with thin clouds over the sky. This means that the photos taken will not be sharp as usual. Any way, it was still a perfect day for me.

The following photos are selected from 4557 photos taken during the Eclipse prcess. All photos (exclude P1) were taken at the focal length of 840 mm. The photos are cropped to 6150x4100 px, then minor ajustment was performed, with all being aligned to the temperature of 3650 for golden color.

P1 The observation site at Champlain Country Club, indexed photos are composed to show the sequence.
