With many clouds in the forecast for central Texas, we drove up to Little Rock to photograph the eclipse. We set up on a street corner at my son's place and soon gathered about a dozen people from the neighborhood to share the experience. I was able to capture close-up images of the prominences and make a time lapse video from first to last contact. Sadly the weather had no respect for our 8 hour drive and some high thin clouds passed by during totality. Fortunately a radial version of unsharp masking restored the corona detail nicely and I was able to preserve the deep twilight blue of the sky.
