I used 8 Cameras to capture Hidden Details in the Solar Eclipse (2024)
Hydrogen Alpha Progressions, Plasma Prominence, Bailey's Beads, the Diamond Ring, Earth shine, Thermal Changes, Planets, Light Intensity, Satellite Views... This was so amazing. I've got some Southern Skies, Motion in Astronomy, Solar Eclipse, ISS, Exoplanet Detection, and maybe some Scuba-diving stuff in the works!

People like you allow people like me to just live in the moment. I'm not worried about capturing photos or anything like that because I know folks like you will do such a better job than I ever could. Thank you for your dedication to the craft.
Very nicely stated! And, great work!
Yes. I used to do astrophotography. But nothing like this. 1 telescope, 1 camera. This is some serious equipment 😊.
Background full of Chemtrails….
I was worried no one caught the big red ball and wish I took pics. but now I dont care again since he caught the "prominence". It was odd to get a symmetrical "ruby" with the diamond ring. If youre a believer then youre like yup, end times. I was chill with a simple oroboros but then they threw the eyes of Mot eating the earth and I said yo thats bussin. On god. FR FR.
The diamond ring composite is a work of art. For those of us who could not be there, thank you
YOU HAVE LOST YOUR WAY INDEED.
Go look at Bruce sees all he was in a fantastic place with a wild telescope ,you can see fire of the sun in totality .
Hey I'm The guy who sold you the two Celestron units a few months back, I hope they were able to get put to good use!
Hey! Thanks again for those! One of them is holding the Hydrogen Alpha scope in the video! Couldn't have done that without you! And the other I've been using for some satellite reading projects back at my apt, but I'm still troubleshooting some signal strength issues there... Both getting some good use, so thank you again!
"Horrifying" is a word that many people won't quite understand unless they are in the area of totality. I've seen 2 total eclipses now, and both times I felt uneasy seconds before it happened, and pure awe as it happens. BEAUTIFUL image you captured at the end there!
Totally accurate.
I’ve been in the area of totality once… feelings of horror were not ever felt in the slightest.
Awesome is the word I use. Absolutely AWEsome!!
Yeah, there is something very eerie about how its suddenly getting much darker, colder, and quieter. But then you look up and it's just pure awe. It gave me a different type of emotion that I can't quite describe... and when it was over, I was almost depressed at the fact that I will never get to witness it again.
I think maybe the primitive part of our brain feels the fear of day turning into night. Imagine big nocturnal predators waking and trying to grab breakfast!
No one else captured those tendrils of light in the corona like you did. Your excitement is contagious. This was the coolest experience of my life. And this is my favorite eclipse video.
Coronavirus interesting
That last image of the formation of the ring from left to right would absolutely make a phenomenal poster. I'd totally buy one! I took my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter to watch the totality. I regret not being able to afford even a decent camera and only had my cell phone to work with. At least she got to witness one, and if I'm still alive in 2045, we'll be witnessing that one together as well. About that photo becoming a poster ... I'm quite serious about wanting one.
Hey there, read you comment earlier and got started setting up a release! I made a few full resolution revisions and have them available now as either a free image download or a purchasable print!

NASAs best photo contest winner should have gone to this 😮
Thank you! Just glad that I can get this out and share it with my audience 😊
@kylemccaslin It must have been a profound experience. I'm always living in an area where I am totally unable to see Totality. (Waikiki, Oahu) I too , say that you deserve best NASA photo Award. I do not speak for the commenter above, but for myself. I ask, may you look objectively at Nasa photos of Earth, Moon and universe as a whole and understand, as NASA has admitted, that all of their photos are CGI. In that regard, your photos are better than NASA photos. I say that from the Love Within Me. Now there are 2 parts of your work that was quite stellar! Your Composite of the Shadow Moon, may you sharpen the details and maybe post them? Also, Idk if you noticed, the video from the GOESS, you showed the Moon Shadow and Sun Light. Thing is,...the Moon, Sun and Planets all travel along the ecliptic...so what was that bright as 'shine' that traveled with the day as the Night/Day Terminator moved across the Earth? That light was moving East to West as the Shadow moved SouthWest to NorthEast. Is that correct for the Moon occulting the Sun?
Guys, Here is our Savior HalleluYAH translates “Praise ye YaH” YaH is The Heavenly Father YaH arrives via the TENT OF MEETING YaH was Who they Crucified for our sins YaH was Crucified on an Almond TREE - Ancient Semitic Cuneiform of Moshe (Moses) - Isa Scroll (The Original Isaiah) Isaiah 42:8 "I am YaH; that is my Name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols.” Isaiah 43:11 “I am YAH, and there is no other Savior but Me.” Isaiah 45:5 “I am YaH, and there is none else.”
LIFE IS NOT A TEST ITS A CON ALL THE WAY BEYOND THE MAFIAS OF THE WORLD.TIMES BEEN DEGRADED.
No ,brucessesall wild picture n video .
I am in tears. I am so happy for you, that you planned something so difficult and pulled it off!! I hope you cry those tears of JOY! You deserve it! ❤
This is the best content I've seen of the Eclipse! Absolute master work. I'm so happy someone was able to capture that moment of my life so well. I was in MO as well and got some great amateur content, but yours is next level. It's just awesome!
Thank you thank you! I'm glad so much of it worked. Was a real scramble to get everything automated and running before totality actually happened. And sounds like alot of us were in MO lol, that and NY/Maine/Canada. I'd love to see your images too if you have them posted anywhere!
These are THE BEST photos I have seen of the eclipse. Saw it with my own eyes. SO cool to see that prominence with the naked eye and see it here in full detail. Thank you
I don’t know why but it has always made my heart smile to see someone so passionate about something. My son is that way about fishing. Nice to see.
Terrific results my friend. Unfortunately too many people brush off totality and it’s so much more than you expected. I was not going to take any photos and just bask in the experience but when I realized I could see the pink glowing prominences I grabbed my camera with a 500mm and was rewarded with a beautiful image after bracketing down 4.5 EV. ✌️
Nice! Fast on the trigger haha.
During 99% and totality it felt like the outdoors transformed into an imax theater. It was so strange and amazing
Right ? I was at about 95%. It dawned on me how bright the sun really is. At only 5% sunshine, it was very bright. Sure I've been under an eclipse before, but it never really struck me that way before. Imagine any other, even a very strong light, with 95% of it covered. It's going to be pretty dim. It is amazing . . . ✌️😎
This is amazing. I share your excitement! As excited (and anxious about the cloud cover) as I was, I was not in the least prepared for the experience. As the moon snuffed out the sun, I sobbed inconsolably for the entire two minutes of totality and all the way home. Nothing like I had ever experienced before! You have inspired me to learn how to photograph the next one! Thank you for sharing your work!
Genuine video with solid work done. Good job dude
Thank you!
Awesome video Kyle! I drove to Vermont from Virginia to experience this eclipse. You are right. Photos and video do not capture the magic and overwhelming feelings of seeing it in person. Nicely done.
I drove from MA to Vermont
Thanks!
Where in VT? I also drove to VT to see it, from south-central PA. My family and I watched it from Cohen Park on the bank of Lake Champlain.
Without special lenses to watch an eclipse. They are pretty unspectacular. Makes me wonder what, if anything at all, did the people from ancient history use for viewing?
It doesn’t do it any justice. It was a spiritual experience for me.
Fantastic! I have been waiting 7 yrs for this event. I did get to see the ring of fire in San Antonio and then this eclipse in Waxahachie Tx. There is nothing like being under that event. Thanks for sharing the amazing results of all the work you did and STRESS you were willing to endure. I didn't let myself get too focused on it before this because I would have obsessed like you and it is painful. So thank you for real effort
I think its crazy how the emotions to the eclipe from photographers and people who understand the event are universal. I also had trouble even getting words out after it was over.
The eclipse is such an awesome event. Seeing your excitement alongside it is even cooler. Keep rocking!
I too, vote for your last composite photo as "best ever". Thank you very much for putting this together. I drove 22 hrs to Carbondale from AZ. The Greatest Show on Earth did not disappoint. We had the same sky as you, mid-level cloud bands moving by just as the eclipse started. By totality they were gone, perfect. I am so glad I had binoculars this time (I saw 2017 in WY, no binos). I could make out all the secret reveals with my naked eye except the hydrogen shot, which was also very cool. The next one is Iceland or Spain. I would be happy to meet up on location Aug 2026 and help with logistics and whatever for even better photos. I think I am now a "totality chaser," ther should be at least a few more before I am dead :). Thanks again.
22 HOURS. Jesus Christ lol. Oh yeah Binos sound excellent for totality. So could you vaguely make out the Earth-shine on the dark side of the moon? Sounds like your hooked 😂
Great video I'm definitely going to watch more! Subbed! These are easily the best captures of the eclipse I've seen
Awesome, thank you!
I've been searching everywhere for this content! I love everything you did!
Glad you enjoy it!
I've waited for 20 years for this moment. It was worth the drive and the hassle of dealing with traffic on the way home. I'd do it all over again. Thanks for sharing your experience. I'll never forget it.
Thank you. Beautiful work, you brought that enthusiasm right back into my heart. I drove my son (who was born during a lunar eclipse) and I to Vermont for the event and it was worth all the hours in traffic. We both enjoy watching the heavens, but your cameras capture way more than we could have alone. I’m sending this video to him right away ; )
I can relate to this video completely. It had become a bit stressful but it was all worth the highly detailed images and experiencing the eclipse with friends in the end. Nice work!
Your energy and enthusiasm is contagious! Incredible work!!!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! And hopefully I can share more stuff like this with you in the future!
This is hands down the best video of the 2024 solar eclipse. You are greatly appreciated for taking the time and money and initiative to do this. Thank you!
Fantastic video. All that work paid off!
It’s ashamed you are not more excited about your work! lol. Wonderful work. Blows mine away.
Thank you , brother I am very appreciative that you took the time to share a wonderful event , more less to share with us not as fortunate.. may Yah bless you !
Kyle, you are the most awesome, bad ass sort of nerd. I loved your video. Thanks for dorking out thoroughly and completely. Keep up the good work.
You put a lot of work into this project and I salute you for it. Well done! I was lucky enough to see it at my house near Plattsburgh NY and it was magical!
Right in the backyard, sounds like a dream come true
Absolutely right
I came from Pennsylvania to Plattsburgh to see the totality! You have a lovely town haha
I got it all in my backyard as well, lucky I had it home, Montreal, Canada
Amazing Kyle... you did it...wonderful
Kyle just found your channel and I am blown away by your effort and level of commitment. I would be interested in purchasing your Bailey’s beads to diamond ring progression. Truly a work of art 👊👏🙌

I will be purchasing not just a free download. You deserve something in return. I drove to totality and bought a telescope. I minored in photography in college and knew there was no way I could capture what I wanted. I was just there in the moment and knew that I would find something truly special from someone else I was able to dedicate more time and effort. I am just happy that I found you because you definitely dedicated the time and effort. Keep doing what you’re doing because you’re killing it
Great pictures! Especially the last one. Thank you for all your work to record the event. This video is going straight to my "Keep Me" list! (I watched from the New Palestine cemetery in Indiana.)
Great work. Beautiful shots!
Hard work and beautiful shot aside, I absolutely loved hearing you struggle to find the words to describe the experience. That's how I felt.
Yeah, it just felt so strange. I also lost track of time during it too. And since I knew it was only a fleeting event, it both felt like it was going to end any second and like it lasted forever.
Really amazing. I’m on the east coast and wasn’t able to get out to where totality was going to be. Your footage is so great for those of us that missed it. Thank you for posting your amazing work!
SPECTACULAR footage !!! THANK YOU for all your research & planning to share all this with those of us who couldn't experience this ourselves. Yours is the best that I've seen, more complete from beginning to end, ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!
Which setup # was your Hydrogen Alpha setup? Super impressive shots. Best I have seen so far!!!
Setup #3, the Lunt 50mm with a ZWO ASI 120mm for the camera. It's been working for me really well. The Lunt does have some quirks to it though.
9:18 gotta love the CGI. it would be more realistic if they added the chemtrails yet somehow they always forget
Had them here in FL like most days & some nights😳
The sun is said to 92 to 93,000 miles from the Earth. And the same two body guards that we can see, stick closer than a brother! 😂 Not to mention with our 20/20 vision we simply would not be able to see the it. 🫥
@@motherof3pearls huh?
@@mustaffa1611 I see you suffer from chemtarditis. Do you actually not know the 'science' of why high-flying jet aircraft leave trails of ice crystals behind them?
Awesome job!You have the best eclipse video on the internet! Thanks for all your hard work. I only saw a few seconds of the eclipse in Texas because of clouds, so your video brought back and really enhanced my experience and memories! I subscribed because I want to add a lot of equipment that you have for myself. You Rock!
Absolutely beautiful images; the hydrogen alpha time-lapses are stunning, thank you so much for sharing your images and story!
That image at the end is incredible
😂😂 2:25 that is a large camera collection. 10:04 amazing final product.
Oh yeah, it's a collection years in the making lol. And thank you!
Excellent work Kyle. Spectacular! Thank You for sharing! We had a perfect view of totality here in Texas. I believe this may be the most incredible thing I have ever seen.
That was amazing! Thanks for sharing this amazing work & emotional experience. And to say "we" as you do, shows just how pretty amazing you are, in your passion & person 😊
I wouldn't put faith in NASA.
As NASA is hebrew and means "deceive" Firmament is also hebrew and means "solid dome".
NASA is not Hebrew and does not mean to deceive. It is clear you do not speak or know how this language works but on a simple understanding N A S A is an acronym and not a word!
@Larth. Yes the word is nasha
@@Larth. Glad some people know. I don't know much about the Hebrew language os spoken but I know we don't live in a fake medium for sure unless someone can explain how we live in a pressurized atmosphere without a container of some sort smh it's the necessary antecedent
@@hmgissinghe’s right, and you’re also right. He was wrong about the spelling but the pronunciation was correct. Many things have the potential to be true at the same time.
"...horrifying and exciting..." I felt the same. Beautiful, terrible, amazing, horrifying, magnificent... everything, all at once.
LOVE LOVE LOVE your energy and passion! That was half the magic of watching! Thank you so much for all your work!
I had two cameras and thought that was too stressful 😂 Congrats on all the great shots. Thanks for sharing!
where can I find this photo? Id love to see a high def version!

Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm, joy and results of your videography and photography. 👌 awesome
I was on a beach of Lake Erie in Canada. This is a huge lake and is like looking at an endless ocean view. To the south west the dark shadow was on the water and moving towards us very fast . The thrill you get as you see the day turn to night when the shadow rushes in. I have a few pictures from cell phone through a welder mask but i really appreciate this video's awesome views.
Wow! You’ve some amazing gear, stuff that a photographer like me can only dream about. It’s obvious that your gear and you (the most important piece of gear) did an outstanding job! Thank you for sharing. 🤙🏼🌹

Thank you SO much for sharing your images and excitement!! 💖 My car couldn't make the trip, but at home we had 99.6% totality. Still an awesome, eerie and moving celestial event. I noticed more things this time, viewing from downtown. All the shadows become extremely sharp. The warm, almost too-warm day suddenly chilled and the wind sprung up - as the eclipse waned, suddenly it felt hot again, the wind died, the shadows blurred. There's definitely a primal feeling during eclipses, kind of like an emotional hum. Or the vibration of Tibetan throat-singing.
Such a sick setup. I was able to pick up an average car surrounded by a passion for astronomy and science. Reminds me of me.
Nice job, that last composite is stunning and thank You for making it. Now a new sub I appreciate your attention to details.
This was amazing. I feel you. To experience this event in your lifetime.. priceless…!
Really is nothing else like it
Great job man! What gets me is how much bigger than the earth the prominences are. Universe is freaking amazing! Thanks for the upload. 🤘
Thank you so much for sharing these once in a lifetime photos ❤️ You ROCK!!!
Wow! You captured a masterpiece! New subscriber. TY for doing this, and your excitement is contagious!🌞🌻🌝
This was Amazing thank you for all your dedication.
I live in NC and watched from Texas. I planned that trip for 7 years. After traveling to SC for the solar eclipse in August of 2017, I knew I needed to see the next one. I got INCREDIBLY lucky to have footage of the 2017 eclipse. It was literally LAST MINUTE-- and I mean taping eclipse glasses to an basic camera and then ripping them off at the moment of totality and hoping for the best. The video is on my channel, but it’s trash compared to this 😂 We were better prepared for the 2024 eclipse. What you said at 4:19 is exactly how I feel. I’ve seen a total solar eclipse, I’ve watched my videos, I’ve watched others’ videos, yet I was STILL completely in awe of what I was looking at in front of me. There is NOTHING that can describe the feeling of witnessing this magical event. You JUST. HAVE. TO. BE THERE… that’s all I can say on that. I love that you did this and put so much effort into it, and that you also were able to stand there and enjoy it and take it all in. I shared your video with my aunt in TX- she watched it with me and had all of her cameras/solar film set up for it!
Closest representation to what I experienced. Thank you for this.
...after years of only pictures & video i was a little suprised at how small the sun seemed during totality. And seeing that prominence the whole time was the icing on the cake! Seeing it all naked eye is a memory of a lifetime. Only thing that beats it is watching your child being born. The first one anyway. 😂
PHENOMENAL SHOTS ‼️👍 🥰👍
I was in Speedway Indiana, about an 8 hour drive from my home…it was marvelous. My home was in the path of totality in 2017, but it was cloudy and rainy that day. Glad I got to see totality this time!
THE BEST I've seen! Thank you for all your work and for sharing it with all of us! Was a pretty special day and I also will never forget it. Thanks again! Excellent job!! Diggin ur channel in Dallas
Excellent work Kyle! I was in Poplar Bluff, Missouri and got great results. One thing I did notice is how fast the shadow bands were. I'd only seen Solar Eclipse shadow bands once before in my life when I was only 7 years old ( in 1984 ) during an Annular Solar Eclipse and I don't remember them being that fast, but at the same time, I was only 7 😆 You're the only one so far that I've seen from any footage that actually captured it!!
I also went to Poplar Bluff, it was awesome!! We drove to some back roads just outside of town near a river. It was nice not being near a bunch of people.
Thanks! Yeah I was excited to see them too! I didn't really know they only really happened around the transitions. Glad I could pull my phone out fast enough to capture them though. And that I didn't wait too long to put the filters on afterwards XD
Knowledge, preparation, hard work and enthusiasm. Terrific !
The last image was awesome! Outstanding work!
Thank you from Wisconsin.
Thank you for sharing your work, some absolutely amazing shots you managed to capture. Myself I travelled a little over 4 hours to experience totality in all it's glory as I had not seen an eclipse since I was a child in the early 90's.
I was so glad that I made my way to Lorain, Ohio, to witness a total eclipse. That prominence was icing on the cake. What an incredible unequivocal personal experience it was!
This was beautiful! A really excellent job. All your preparation was amazing. I love photography myself but I just never got to any huge level in it so I enjoyed this vicariously through you! This is the best I've seen of the eclipse and the different elements of it that you caught!! Thank you for your efforts and talent!!
Good job young man! I admire young people being so interested in something they become experts in the fields of their interest.
This! My daughter & I were able to witness this exceptional event in Indiana. Your photo's sum up how I felt..astonishing 🌑🌕
We drove the 3 hours to New Brunswick ( from Nova Scotia) I wasn't going to go if it was foggy or cloudy.. But we woke to a PERFECT DAY!!. WHAT A TRIP!! MU KIDS ( ALL 5 OF THEM ) will never forget..
This is TRULY incredible and amazing! I'm so happy that you got these images and shared them with us all! I was in totality in NYS. But we were completely cloud covered. I didn't get to "see it", but I did get to experience total darkness. And words cannot describe how amazing it was. Thank you again!
Thank you for your time and effort. In your documentation, you will forever have the memory encapsulated for us all. I was very near you, between Carbondale, Illinois and Cape Girardeau, Missouri. The 360° sunset is the thing that surprised me most. I'm instantly subscribed, thumbs up, shared and liked. Thank you Kyle.
Waited for years to see this one in Arkansas. What a magnificent thing of beauty!
That last shot was amazing!
I planned from 2017 to 2024 to ensure my kids got to see it... what an amazing experience, lucky for my my second total eclipse... Every man, woman and child should have this experience. Thanks for what you do!
Watching your video reminded me very much of my own experience with this eclipse (although no way near as much strenuous detail that you went through)... I live in the UK and travelled to the US in 2017 to see the last eclipse but I missed it because a huge storm came in, so I made it my goal for the next 7 years to see the next one. I flew all the way to Texas and bought a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra to capture it, but when the moment finally came I was so nervous. The payoff of finally being able to see it with my own eyes was one of the best experiences of my life, and I got some incredible photos with my phone camera. I'm so glad I was able to live to see this day, and seeing your video brought back all the joy of that moment. Thank you for uploading this 🙏🏻
Best photos I have seen! Beautiful job!
That was so great. The eclipse is a once in a lifetime type of event. So exciting. Very happy for you for your success. Simply beautiful.
Yes it was!
Hah, that's like the opposite to the advice I gave everyone. Just use your eyes to take it in and experience it. Taking pictures is challenging because of the dramatic exposure differences. But you nailed it. That hydrogen alpha shot of the Sun is so great.
Couldn't help myself lol.
Beautiful thank you for your work!
Thank you for doing this & sharing! ❤
I was at 98.3% totality and at the peak, it didn’t get completely dark, but there was an eerie silence and color contrast just diminished. I say silence because all the birds stopped chirping at one once! I could also feel the temperature drop. I am so happy to see the excitement of your day.
I have been blessed with 2 pristine solar eclipses over my house, and my favorite part is how other people watch in wonder and amazement. I got to experience that with my daughter this time! So happy to see that you had the time of your life at some of my old hiking trails.
Thank you so much for making this video!! You and I both reacted the same exact way when totality started lol i have a video of me saying damn near down to the second the same reactionary words haha the eclipse is something i will never forget and something that i didnt know that i needed. I cannot stop thinking about the first people and how they were terrified as i stood there speechless in awe. I felt so small but so close to the sky at the same time... i cant put it into words and ill never forget that feeling. Thanks again!!
It really was an experience like no other

Kyle you did an amazing job. Thank you for sharing this adventure with everyone. It’s really a life time memory. Thank you.
What an outstanding video. You did great job addressing both the technical and emotional aspects of that experience.
Amazing work bro!!! I'm saving this for years to come thank you!! sure beat the solar glasses I was wearing!! 😂😂
You caught some of the very best images I have seen of the eclipse. Great work. I am subscribing.
Awesome, thanks:) we had partial cloudy weather where we were in Palmyra, but it was still AMAZING!!! because of the clouds we didn't even need our glasses. Totality was AWESOME, regardless of being able to see it, we were able to experience it. Definitely didn't disappoint, but it's cool to see what we missed, so thanks for sharing
Of course, I kept saying no glasses needed. But, alas, nobody listened to me! 😂
