Unable to make it to a spot on the path of the annular eclipse today to view the Ring of Fire, I captured this timelapse of the partial eclipse view from my backyard.

What's great about successfully capturing this eclipse that I wasn't even home! Since our granddaughter Harper was showing her rabbit at the State Fair of Texas stock show today, I had the equipment set up to run automatically. Thankfully, I got home in late afternoon to find that months of preparation and practice paid off!

These images were captured in a sequence taking a shot ever 30 seconds for the entire duration of the eclipse, shooting on a tracker. The full set of images were used to create a timelapse video. I selected this set from about every half-hour of the eclipse (apart from start and end times) to use to create this composite and a similar image without the labels.
