Here's a crop showing the solar prominences, literally enormous loops of plasma that extend thousands of miles into space.
Lens is the 645 A* 600mm f/5.6 on the 645Z with a 1.4xTC. I removed the ND filter for totality.
I had a series of small mishaps which caused me to only capture a handful of exposures during totality, so stacking/blending was very limited. I did my best.
Hope you like it.
More from my eclipse chase in north Texas.
Lens is the 645 A* 600mm f/5.6 on the 645Z with a 1.4xTC. I used a 150 x 150mm Lee Super Stopper 15-stop ND filter to block visible light. It does not filter IR/UV.

Here's how the 2024 solar eclipse looked from the small town of Terrell, TX, population 18,000. My adventure included flying into Austin, heading south to San Antonio, then back north to Waco, Dallas, Rockwall, Paris, before deciding to come back south to Terrell. Then immediately after the eclipse, I drove straight through from Dallas to San Antonio. Total travel was 1,026 miles driven and 3,669 by air.

From the glorious city of Bedford, Indiana. The weather cooperated, and the townsfolk are some of the nicest people you'll ever hope to meet. Thanks to everyone who helped make this photo possible.
Shot with my brand-new/used Pentax 645z. Three solar prominences are visible. Cropped, but largely unedited. Easily, the most intense pressure I’ve ever felt during a photo shoot. I’m extremely lucky to have even gotten anything at all. Thanks for looking.
