The October 14, 2023 annular solar eclipse, in a single image captured at mid-eclipse, at 10:29 am MDT at the site I used. This site was the Ruby's Inn Overlook on the rim of Bryce Canyon, Utah, a site well south of the centreline, with 3m03s of annularity. Being south of the centreline moved the Moon to the north side of the Sun, so the Moon is offset from the centre of the Sun's disk. Note the rough edge to the Moon's disk, particularly at the bottom in its cratered southern highlands. North is up in this close-up through an Astro-Physics 105mm Traveler refractor, a telescope I have used at five central solar eclipses as of this eclipse, including two annulars: this one and on May 10, 1994. Thiis is 1/640-second at f/12 (using a 2x Barlow lens for an effective focal length of 1200mm) and Canon R5 at ISO 100 and in cropped-frame mode. The telescope was equipped with a Kendrick/Baader Mylar type of solar filter.
