One of the most striking differences between my visual observations through binoculars of the Aug 2026 solar eclipse and that of April 2024. Was this time I could not make out any features or albedo markings of the moons surface during totality. In contrast to April 2024 visual observations where despite under much poorer sky conditions due to cloud the most striking feature was seeing many lunar features on the ‘night side’. Could this be due to the eclipse being late in the day during Aug 2026, as apposed to April 2024 which was in the middle of the day so earth shine might be more significant compared to 2026. I’ve checked my longer exposure images and can’t detect any lunar features but I don’t have decent long exposures with high magnification. I’d be interested to hear thoughts from more seasoned eclipse observers.
