The goal of the Modern Eddington Experiment (MEE2024) is to make the most precise measurement ever of the gravitational deflection of stellar positions near the Sun during a total solar eclipse using ground-based optical images, and by so doing, we seek to demonstrate the nature of the 1/R relationship for deflected stars. Fourteen observing teams will perform the MEE2024 during the total solar eclipse crossing North America on April 8, 2024. Feasibility was shown in the 2017 total solar eclipse, with the expectation that the 2024 results will be orders of magnitude more precise. This is primarily due to faster cameras, a longer totality, and multiple data sets. A computer program is being developed to semi-automatically complete the data analysis. This program will include corrections for optical distortion and finding accurate star centroid locations near the Sun. This should result in a final deflection curve accurate enough to verify Einstein's formula.
