There was a partial solar eclipse that happened on May 30th, 1984. Here's a sequence of shots I took of it from out in the countryside around Enfield, Illinois. The reason it's not very clear is because I was using a small 50mm lens instead of a longer one. It was a multiple exposure taken on one single frame, so if I'd used a longer lens, I wouldn't have been able to get as many images on it. Taken with my Minolta XD11 and Kodak Tri-X 400 speed black and white film.

There will be a solar eclipse of the sun this year, and Carbondale, Illinois is the approximate point of greatest duration of totality. Carbondale is about an hour from where I live. At approximately 1:20 p.m. C.D.T. on Monday, August 21st, 2017, we here will experience the total solar eclipse for 2 minutes and 38 seconds. I plan on being there to photograph it, of course. The picture above was taken during the last total eclipse over Amerca, back in 1979. It didn't actually reach totality here in Norris City, though.
