ldquo;The Great American Eclipserdquo; br/This was my first total solar eclipse. I had witnessed and photographed many partial eclipses in my life, but never a total eclipse. In preparation I had read much about not bothering to take pictures (especially during your first total eclipse), but am I ever glad I tried. I still took time to take in some of what was happening around me and I stopped to view ldquo;totalityrdquo; with a pair of 10X50 binoculars, but I still clicked away and the images I captured will be my souvenirs of a lifetime. I got images of Baileyrsquo;s Beads, Diamond Rings and solar prominences, but the corona was what I found truly awesome. No one image captures what the dynamic range that you eye can see, but the image I included here shows some of the finer detail of the magnetic field lines radiating from the Sun and hints at the extent and distance they radiate into space. Every time I look at this image it seems to come alive before my eyes. Maybe itrsquo;s just me?br/Details: August 21, 2017, Hopkinsville, Kentucky.br/Canon 60D with Canon 100-400mm zoom and Extender EF 1.4X III (560mm) mounted on iOptron Mini Tower Pro tracking mount at ISO 100, frac14; sec., f/8.0
