PhotographerRODOLFO PERZ DE PAULALocationCerro Huiliche -El Calafate-ARGENTINADate11/07/2010EquipmentCANON 20D - CANON ZOOM 75 -300mm ( 35 mm equivalent = 480 mm) . Mounted on fix tripodDescriptionThis is the totality, over the ANDES mountains, just a few minutes before sunset, with the eclipsed sun and a golden corona, ( not white, but GOLD!!) .One of the best eclipses I have ever seen ( and this is my eleven total solar eclipse) . I'm from Uruguay, and I traveled to El Calafate, Argentina, where the sun was very low at totality moment. So I took a tour to climb a 3000 feet mountain, where visibility was perfect, and temperature was about 10 Celsius below zero. |

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. |

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. |
