Impressive

I have never seen a total eclipse - "just" about 80%.

I found it quite humbling to see the Solar System in action - we are normally quite ignorant of the movement of the planets.

Thank you Martin! Those are called prominences at 3:30 an 6:00, including the loop from a plasma flare

Still working on photographing / documenting vacuum tubes (valves in British English).

Here's a shot of a small family - dad, mum & child in an attempt to illustrate the three types of tubes: the 6CS7, the 6189 & the 6AK5 (EF95).



6CS7 tubes made by American Tung-Sol & the & 6AK5 is by Mullard, UK, 1954, branded as 'Philips Miniwatt', marked 6A5K on one side and EF95 on the other.

Good concept

I have 3 tube radios

I will see if they still power up!

Nikon D800E, 14-24mm, with a solar filter ripped out of a pair of glasses taped to the rear element for the sun images (camera stayed stationary). About 6-7 minutes between each image (I set the camera to fire off a photo every minute, then chose only every 6-7 images to stack).



I liked it better in b&w. Also you can see little slivers of light in the bottom left of the frame, that is thousands of honeybees that swarmed down from the sky and settled in a bush when I started the sequence off with a bare image to stack on top of.

Very GOOD

as usual
