About this image

I have a lot of material to process when I get home but this is a quick post to confirm success at La Revilla. I had two telescopes in parallel, one shooting 4K HDR video using a Sony A7s iii, and one doing polarimetry using a Sony polarization sensitive camera. This montage shows the huge prominence visible at second contact and a luminance processed stack of the corona from the polarization camera at mid-eclipse. Totality was really beautiful with the naked eye with the Sun so near the horizon.

The entire population of the village came out to see the eclipse and the whole event was a great experience.
