"Ring of Fire" - October 14, 2023, complete annular solar eclipse in Bosque Farms, NM - 10:34 am MDT

Naked eye photo of today's annular eclipse. I adjusted the color and sharpness for clarity.

You can barely see the outline of the moon in front of the sun as well as reflections of the anomaly in the light aura.

The reflection of the eclipse is the most clear view of the annular eclipse (the green circle bottom right). If the moon was not present, it would be a full green circle. The green line is a reflection of the Ring of Fire effect.

Amazing astronomical event!

Suddenly I noticed that there was less light coming in the windows... but the sun was in a clear sky! Then I realized the sky wasn't quite the brilliant autumn blue it had been... the sun was DIMMER. It was very noticeable.

Felt quite strange!

reminiscently,
Bright
