Solar annular eclipse from Roswell, New Mexico, parking lot of Pioneer Bank. Take using a ZWO SeeStar S50 telescope. This is a few minutes before totality to a few minutes after it was over, time lapse.

Taken from the Pioneer Bank parking lot in Roswell, New Mexico using a SeeStar S50. This about two hours of the eclipse compressed to 3 minutes 20 seconds. You can see we had a few clouds, especially after totality was over. Also SeeStar's tracking wasn't perfect, so the aiming was adjusted manually several times to center the image. Still pretty good performance from this little smart scope.

I used 4 Packs 80040 Washer Agitator Dogs Replacement Kit by BlueStars from Amazon $6 -a flathead screwdriver -7/16 socket with an extension. I'd say a 6 inch extension minimum -needle nose pliers to pick out all the pieces of broken old agitator dogs -paper towels and q-tips to clean things out, and -a flashlight

In the last 15 minutes before the cannon (closing time) go to this drum jam. Fun! People dancing all over the place. Very intense.
