 Total Solar Eclipse near Tryon, Nebraska | |
Figured better late than never to post my pictures/video/writeup of the solar eclipse as seen in Tryon, Nebraska - full writeup there with more pictures and words.
We camped overnight at on 40 acres of farmland 10 miles South of Tryon which has a population of 156. So we were kind of in the middle of nowhere in gorgeous country with super friendly family that hosted another dozen or so campers.
Wife and I drove into Tryon the afternoon/evening before
The town did a GREAT job rolling out the red carpet for the visitors - even had a FREE Uber Service! ;-)
The weather forecast has worsened on Sunday with fog predicted overnight. So while we saw a lot of stars before going to bed, here's what we woke up to in the morning. I was using my flashlight as a "Jedi-Light-Saber" to cut up the fog ... and it did clear as forecast by 10'ish.
Stupid Geek tricks include a Monocular and colander
Here's my shot of the eclipsed sun ... which was white to the visible eye (and at daylight color temperature of 5500K - what a surprise!), but I decided to put it on "fire" and boosted the color temperature in lightroom when I processed the RAW file.
I also got a nifty video shot at constant aperture showing before/during/after totality
Pics/video are cool ... but it was 100X in real-life ... neat experience. Highly recommended if you haven't seen one - US folks should start planning for 2024! ;-)
