Tracks,
Lonely are the driven, Their hearts aflame, their spirits alive. They chase the horizon, relentless and unforgiving, Seeking solace in the echoes of their footsteps.

A photo I captured of the sun just prior to the start of the eclipse. In addition to sunspots, you can also make out swirls in the photosphere. This was taken using a Baader solar filter which shows the suns true color, white.

Photos I captured during Monday's total solar eclipse.
A couple closeups of the prominences and Baily's beads.
A prominence, sometimes referred to as a filament, is a large, shiny, reddish plasma and magnetic field structure extending outward from the Sun's surface, often in a loop shape. Prominences are anchored to the Sun's surface in the much brighter photosphere, and extend outwards into the solar corona.
The Baily's Beads effect is seen as the Moon makes its final move over the Sun during a total solar eclipse. This effect occurs when gaps in the Moon's rugged terrain allows sunlight to pass through in some places just before and after totality.

I present to you, TOTALITY!
This photo is the culmination of weeks of planning, days of practice and travel, and hours of capturing and post processing the data. All the detail of the corona is visible, as well as the detail of the moon due to Earthshine.
The Sun’s corona is the outermost part of the Sun’s atmosphere. The corona is usually hidden by the bright light of the Sun's surface. That makes it difficult to see without using special instruments. However, the corona can be viewed during a total solar eclipse.
Earthshine occurs when sunlight reflects off the Earth's surface and illuminates the unlit dark side of the Moon. Since the light that generates Earthshine is reflected twice – once off the Earth’s surface and then off the Moon’s surface, this light is very dim and difficult to capture.
