'Ring of fire' solar eclipse blazes over Easter Island in incredible new image

On Oct. 2, a partial "ring of fire" solar eclipse was visible from the remote island of Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island, where around 1,000 stone moai statues stand. You can see the whole celestial event play out in this incredible composite image.

Stacked sequence of the last year's annular eclipse from my front yard.

My setup: Canon R5, Sigma 150-600mm and iOptron Star Tracker to track sun throughout exposure.

There's a joke here about being nerdy enough to photograph the camera - and me zooming in on the cool image and looking at the details, not to mention googling what the heck an "iOptron star tracker" is!!

Nerds we are...

Very cool setup - thanks for making me a little smarter.

You don't have to be a nerd to be into photography, but it helps

We are all nerds in our own right - as we are all the cool kids in a different right!
