North America will experience a breathtaking astronomical event on April 8, 2024 - a total eclipse of the sun. This is the second eclipse in the 21st century. The last was in 2017 and won’t happen again in North America until 2044. What makes this one different than the one in 2017 is the moon lies closer to the earth making it a bit larger in the sky and also totality longer.
You don’t need to be a seasoned pro, anybody will be able to shoot this with the proper precautions, equipment and techniques. Everyone from novice to professional photographers will be able to photograph it.
I hope that this helps
These are from 2017 at a NASA and World Astrophysics viewing site in Wieser, ID (Canon 5D MK5 and Canon L 100-400 lens Home made filter - sun filter sheet cut and fitted into a UV filter---This year I bought a Sun filter from B&H)
I hope sky's are as clear this year in Indianapolis
Cellphone image. Issues with Canon 5D and expensive brand name bad sun filter that finally came in from reputable store in NYC. (Waited 3 months for delivery). Sealed package, checked and there were pinholes. Glad I checked.
2017 taken in Weizer, ID with good camera and home made filter made with sheet of sun filter pressed between two skylight filters (Should have taken that one to Indy this year but it was wrinkled)
