Eclipse progression

OK I am new to eclipses and have a question about how it progresses...

Is it...as 2nd contact finishes

Diamond Ring >Bailys Beads >Totality >Bailys Beads >Diamond Ring >3rd contact?

Also with this Annular eclipse May 20th...I assuming I will still need a solar filter all the way through...I will be photographing it with my 5" Vixen R130Sf scope...

Thanks!

I believe you have the order correct----however, I do not believe you will have the Diamond ring, etc....phenomenom at all. That is my guess. Not an educated one, just my guess.

This eclipse will only be 93.499 % diameter, and 87.421% surface (from where I will be). I do not believe this will dim the sun enough let the edge phenomenom show through.

I have asked in various places, and am told that one must use a solar filter throughout the annularity. This is not a total eclipse. We will not get the corona, or the Beads, etc. No earthshine off the moon.

We'll know SUnday if I am right.
