My image at maximum eclipse. Lunt LS60Ha/PT on a SkyWatcher SolarQuest automatic solar mount with a MallinCam SolarCam 20 camera. This image isn't stacked or a composite and the only post-processing was cropping the sides off. I just captured this image during the live stream. I don't fully understand the MallinCam software for this camera yet. Exposure was set to AUTO. Histogram was set to AUTO, and then I slid the left histogram line to the right to reveal a little detail on the surface.

This little girl was hysterical. She put her nose on the monitor and stayed there for at least five minutes! I think she was expecting something to change. And things were changing, just not very fast.

How I spent the morning of October 14, 2023. I volunteered at the San Miguel branch of San Luis Obispo County Library. San Miguel is a tiny little town on Hwy-101 with a population of around 2,300. The librarian counted 115 visitors at one point, but handed out all the solar glasses he had -- 135.  My wife operated our SunSpotter solar scope and I operated my live solar outreach video system. Today that was a Lunt LS60Ha/PT single-stacked with a MallinCam SolarCam 20 camera.
I displayed on a 19" video monitor..
