Horizon

Murphy's law dictates any astronomical event attracts clouds and/or rain, and it was no different this time either.

As the sky was completely covered in clouds, I chose not to travel to capture the solar eclipse, but just stay home and hope for the best. The clouds came and went, but mostly came, but I stayed next to my telescope throughout the event, and sure enough, about 15 minutes after the maximum eclipse, we had a few minutes of only very thin clouds.

I took the opportunity to take a handful of recordings, then I picked the single best one out of those to process into the image I had envisioned - a close-up of the Lunar surface against the backdrop of the sun with its granules and a few sunspots. I had no way of knowing there would be sunspots, but I sure hoped so!
