Today's video, represents the whole reason for this current month plus long roadtrip.
Traffic was horrible the morning of the Annular Solar Eclipse. It seemed everyone in Albuquerque wanted to wake up early and go to this event. Fortunately, we got lucky through persistence and local knowledge and got parked within 100 feet of the event entrance. We finally got setup in the field, only missing a few minutes of the even.While the eclipse was interesting to observe, I think I prefer Full Eclipses and the darkness they bring.
Enjoy the eclipse video, I had to individually edit, reposition to center, resize, and restore color to the Sun after filtering 200 images.
Take care,
Jeff and Kelli

No traffic in Winnemucca, NV, where I was in the 100% path for the annular eclipse 🙂

But that's pretty cool to be at the balloon festival with the eclipse! Thanks for working hard to make the video!

I would agree that a full eclipse (which I saw in 2017) is a more spectacular event. However, this one was still pretty special!

Are you planning a trip for next year's total solar eclipse?

Yes, we are planning on going to Texas.
