PhotographerRAMIRO PEREZ DE PAULALocationCerro Huiliche-El Calafate-ArgentinaDate11/07/2010, during totalityEquipmentSony camera, "point & shoot"DescriptionOne of the best sights of the 11/7 eclipse was the cone of the shadow of the moon coming to cover our observing site. Usually, when the sun is high at totality, the cone is not that easy to see, but at El Calafate, the sun was very low, so the umbra crossed the site parallel to the ground, and was easily visible and very noted. |

PhotographerLynn van RooijenLocationBlaricum, NetherlandsDate17 June 2010, 2:00EquipmentStellarvue 80ED on Astrotrac with Starlight Xpress M25c and Lumicon Deep Sky filter. 1920s, 23 images. Comet-focused layered over background-focused image.DescriptionChallenging image since Comet McNaught C/2009 R1 is barely above the horizon while at 52N, the Sun is barely under. Had to take this from an attic window to see low enough, and so 80mm was the largest scope I could use. |
