Imaging Summarizg... Cloud cover hampered efforts to get a clear crisp image of the Cororna. But it made for a plethera of "artsy" cloudy images. This was the first time I took 2 cameras deditcated for the Eclipse. The Planetary Camera ZWO I432 & the Sony A7C & 70-300mm f/5.6 Telephoto. Only one image using it. That was taken by Joni. That image revealed a nice profile of the Corona & showed "Earthshine. From previous images of the Moon, I know the camera can deliver a lot more than was asked of it. It was light and traveled well. It will likely be taken on future excursions. However, I may upgrade to a 400mm for the image scale. It may well be enough equipment for the low in the sky Eclipse in 2026. Though the Corona was a bit of a challeng, Beads & Prominences were easily extracted through the clouds. All in all, very pleased with the results. For a while, the weather report was very iffy to say the least. |
Mazaltan, Mexico Eclipse Excursions always include an element of touring. This was our first time to Mexico. I hope it will not be the last. The warmth and hospitality of the staff and residence beyond what we could ask. Weather in the upper 70s, beach and sunset views were excellent. Nearby (walking distance) was one of the nicest, if not nicest, supermarket I have been to. Unlike other excursions, we/guest in our group were on our own to pick our activities. Aside from live firey entertainment shows and beach walks, we also zip lined. No brakes on the wheels. Now I know what it is like to land on an aircraft carrier. You know you are enjoying yourself when you wish you could stay longer. |
