Partial Solar Eclipse 20221025 - Ha maximum

It doesn’t happen too often you get a chance to witness a solar eclipse, even a partial one. Last year I had ;y first chance at trying to capture this, but I had lacked the ‘solar/planetary’ experience

This year I’ve tried to come prepared. I had one camera with a 2x400mm zoom tracking the sun, making a time-lapse, also capturing the passing clouds (see FB/IG posts). With a second camera I was making single shots with a 600mm lens, giving some decent shots in between the clouds

But, mainly, I also wanted to capture some of the images through my new/second hand solar telescope … in Ha. This is the image I captured at partial ‘maximum’, a mosaic of 2 panels

Although the partial eclipse lasted 2 hours, it seems to have run by in the blink of an eye, dividing my time across the several cameras that were shooting away. Striving for perfection, means you always feel something could’ve been better, I know some moments I’ve ‘missed’ the shot during these 2 hours … I’m still trawling through all the data I’ve captured … but seeing that most of it succeeded … I’m lost for words

Clear Skies everybody! 🤩✨🔭

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
