Astrophotographer, Glenn Sturm to capture and memorialize the April 8 Eclipse from Mexico and is sharing how to do it

In advance of the release of new book, Syzygies—Capturing the Hiding Sun, Mr. Sturm is making available a free how-to excerpt on photographing the event.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, April 1, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — 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. Syzygies—capturing the hiding sun features in-depth tutorials and metadata so that you may learn to shoot eclipses like a professional astrophotographer.

Syzygies—capturing the Hiding Sun is the latest book by world-renowned astrophotographer Glenn Sturm, which will be released in early 2025. Syzygies is the first book of its kind in that it reveals the actual settings used to capture every shot in the book. Section five is a complete how-to that meticulously details the process of photographing a solar eclipse that anybody can follow.

Sturm and his team are already en route to Mexico to begin preparing for the event, along with dozens of large road cases full of high-powered photographic equipment. That said, Mr. Sturm encourages anyone to participate in astrophotography and is making available a free excerpt from his forthcoming book as a download, which explains in detail how anyone may photograph this or any astrological event with as little as an iPhone.

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. The sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk. The Sturm team will be live posting images ahead of anyone on earth, which you will be able to track at syzygies.com

Safety is the number one priority when viewing a total solar eclipse. Be sure you’re familiar with when you need to wear specialized eye protection designed for solar viewing by reviewing safety guidelines which Mr. Sturm outlines in his free download.
