Description

For the past three years we've been attending the Eldorado Star Party, held during the October new moon at the X Bar Ranch Nature Retreat. The ranch is 3 hours away from home and offers us a great opportunity to escape our light polluted suburban skies for a week. Amazingly, the ranch happens to be a few miles from the centerline of the 2023 annular eclipse.

We set up directly on the centerline along farm-to-market road 2129 about 10 miles southwest of Eldorado, TX. The sky was mostly cloudy until annularity, allowing us to capture this shot at maximum eclipse.
