10.06.2021 Today's partial eclipse.

[Rusted]

Very thin, high cloud isn't doing much damage.

I am capturing the eclipse in white light using my 90/11 Vixen, Lunt 1.25" wedge and ASI174MM.

My Lumix G9 is on my spotting scope for whole disk white light with Baader Solar Foil.

Orientation! What's that?

I was incredibly lucky that the cloud remained thin until just before maximum. 12.37[CET] locally.

The wedge had me completely fooled as to orientation. Maximum should have been a vertical cut from on top.

As a final image here is maximum obscuration through the Kowa/Lumix G9 with the correct orientation.
Complete with dust bunnies and ring like, colour artefacts from brightening in post processing.
Had I thought about it more I should have mounted the camera and spotting scope on the refractors.
Then I wouldn't have had to keep searching for the sun with the scope mounted on a locked up Manfrotto fluid head.
My Sirui gimbal head has a much larger base screw so I couldn't quickly mount it on the dome base ring.
The moon's bite out of the sun was far too large to capture in H-alpha at 1500mm focal length!
So I had to quickly swap the '174 camera over to the Vixen.  There's nothing like a rehearsal before the actual event!
