I've seen so many fabulous eclipse images over the two-week period since August 21, 2017. Ken's photo of the diamond ring is by far the best I've seen of that phenomenon!

First things first; those are some of the best photos I've seen of the eclipse. As an amateur astronomer, I've seen quite a few.  I might mention that on the next to last image posted, where Ken mentions seeing Baily's beads, the image shows 3 prominences; 1 at "12 o'clock", and 2 at 3 o'clock. I don't see any "beads" in that image, although Ken might have either seen them visually or in another photo. The prominences look like red flames coming off the edge of the moon, although they are actually (literally) on the edge of the sun.

Coming from Jan, that's a great compliment.
Amazing photos.

OK, I stand corrected - not Baily's beads, but prominences.  I stand corrected and appreciate it.
