Preparing for the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse After imaging five total solar eclipses, I set out to write a unique eclipse ebook! It breaks down eclipse day into 28 chapters that mark an important stage in the eclipse. Each chapter then explains everything you need to know about that stage. A new concept for eclipse books! It's multimedia and written for everyone; learn the observing basics, or dive deep into the details of solar eclipse photography. Learn More
