Stanley Lake Eclipse

The shadow of the moon darkens the horizon at Stanley Lake, Idaho, moments before the total solar eclipse of 2017 August 21. Click the second photo for an impressive composite closeup image of the solar corona from this location. From the photographer: “It was my first Total eclipse and I thought I’m able to manage 3 cameras in the 2 minutes but it felt like a second! So other than telephoto images I only had time to press the button of my landscape camera once, in the last minute of totality I think it was after the third contact.” © Miguel Claro
