Maximum Occlusion
April 8 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F
This was at 11:13 am, which was roughly when the maximum cover the moon gave the sun happened.

Nothing special about the pictures. I need to learn more about astrophotography in general.
Traveler Stunning 😍

Wrapping up

So that's it for 20 years. Not sure if the pictures worked or not. If there's anything there, then I'll post later. I did learn that travel cups suck for dipping ginger snaps.
