Until about ten minutes before totality, seeing the total phase of the 2024 solar eclipse in Dallas was no sure thing, thanks to persistent low clouds that were slowly breaking up, but still littering the sky to a disturbingly dense degree. Nonetheless, one of my favorite non-totality scenes involved thin chunks of fractocumulus scud passing before the solar disk. Seen and photographed with solar filters, the scene became spooky, especially when sunspots (slightly above middle, and at left middle of the solar disc) were still visible. I haven’t seen the partially eclipsed sun photographed this way much, and it rendered a pleasing perspective.
