Rocketship,
Photographing space images is notoriously challenging, particularly in the case of the one ( # Photo 10 ) taken by Ryan Imperio during the annular solar eclipse on October 14, 2023. Ryan Imperio is an American astrophotographer. The challenges of photographing a moving target, the brief window of opportunity, the need for solar filters, and fluctuating light levels did not prevent him from taking the shot successfully. His goal was to capture “Baily’s beads,” and he had only seconds to do so. The timeframe for capturing this photo was limited.
I hope you are keeping well. Take care of yourself, my dear friend.

Thank you for your post, Crazyhorse. You reminded me of the Box Camera I used to take pictures of my surroundings when I was a student. Stay safe and take care!

 BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS. I WISH WE COULD SEE MORE OF THE NIGHT SKY HERE. SOME NIGHTS I CAN'T EVEN FIND THE MOON FROM MY BALCONY. AND THAT IS ON PERFECTLY CLEAR NIGHTS!

Archer, When I built the duplex to live in, the area was almost vacant. Now, the surroundings of my home have completely transformed. My double-storied building is now surrounded by multistoried apartment buildings. Three of these buildings belong to other family members. I hope you are doing fine. Take care and be safe, my friend.
