VERY DEEP #CRESCENT: "Annular eclipses produce amazing #crescents," says Eliot Herman, who, on Oct 14th, photographed this one from the path of annularity near Albuquerque New Mexico:
"I captured this picture using a Questar telescope, Questar Solar filter, IR cut filter and a Nikon Z7II," says Herman. "Questars have been used by eclipse chasers for decades and have a historic relationship with #eclipse #photography. To use one for this purpose feels like it links to eclipses of the past."
The Questar gave this crescent a truly vintage vibe. But who needs a telescope? Other photographers captured the eclipse using crackers, pine needles, colanders, lemon squeezers, lawn chairs, leafy trees, mirrors, human fingers, dogs and more.
