The Great American Eclipse of 2017

A Syzygy is a nearly straight-line configuration of three celestial bodies in a gravitational system, such as the alignment of the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth during a solar eclipse. The Great American Eclipse is the prequel to Syzygies-capturing the Hiding Sun, released in March 2025. The Syzygies series of books features in-depth tutorials and metadata so that you may learn to shoot eclipses like a professional astrophotographer. Syzygies is the first book series of its kind in that it reveals the actual settings used to capture every shot in the book. About the author Glenn W.
