B Annular eclipse October 14, 2023

I was near Reno, NV. Outside the path of "totality" but managed a couple of crummy photos. It was light overcast with the clouds moving pretty fast.

With a solar filter held in front of camera:

Too north, too rainy and too cloudy in this part of Oregon but I did see a slight dip in the mornings log data from the solar array.

Dropped out of the small morning solar energy production and the panels were in open circuit voltage monitor mode during the sun dip. The voltage spikes are the charge controller testing MPPT and finding almost no power.

I posted my pics in another thread. My pics were taken from just west of San Antonio, TX. Clouds parted just enough to see it!

Nice! we did not get the full annulus here. With the cloudy forecast, I didn't try driving northeast towards Elko; maybe I should have!
