The most rare, top-tier eclipse photo would be the Solar Earth Eclipse, but the Apollo 12 crew’s attempt to capture it was marred by camera shake. They said it looked spectacular, though.

    Australia for 2028? Why not Spain for 2026?

      Spain

      Someone said: not impressive enough because too close to sunset. Didn’t check.

        That’s why you do Iceland instead.

      The 2026 one doesn’t pass over much land or near many major population centres, and a lot of Europeans are going to try and see it, so it’s going to be very difficult to go see it, especially if you’re an American.

      Yeah. Just avoid the plains and clouds shouldn’t be a problem.
