OBJECT DESCRIPTION AND IMAGE SESSION

This was October 2024 annular eclipse visible at 100 % from the Patagonia, Santa Cruz Province. See map here

The transit at the end was to low in my backyard visible west, so i was not able to shoot a time lapse as the previous one, hence I just took one image recording the event.

The image is almost at its peak from my location 20.25 UT (BA time zone -3)
