We had excellent weather in southern Missouri for the eclipse on 8 April, 2024.

Our previous experience was in 2017, and while the photos were wonderful, I never got a shot at the "diamond ring" effect that year.

This, and a few others, were taken at the end of totality this April.

The large flare at the very bottom of the disk was seen in a number of our photos.

Hand-held at 280mm equivalent zoom, and processed with GIMP. This was the same camera-lens I used in 2017 (nearly the same settings, too.)
