Eclipse - finally - Dwarf 3 montage

About this image

Better late than never! In every sense - my first successful total eclipse observation despite now being in my 70s! Much of my processing had to wait until I returned from Spain as I didn't take my laptop with me - I'd just bought a new one and didn't fancy dropping it or lost or stolen on the journey. I took the car ferry to Bilbao and spent a pleasant three days in Leon before back to Bilbao and the ferry home again. I have the complete Dwarf 3 time-lapse video but I left the solar glasses on so a bit faint at totality. These are the more interesting stills extracted from the data captured by the Dwarf 3.
