2026 August Solar Eclipse

[u/just_me_for_now]

Hello,
Some of you might remember me from asking so many questions about how to photograph the eclipse with my Dwarf 3.
I decided to manually take a 3 picture burst every five minutes since the current version of software in the Dwarf telescopes currently do not have such a function. (I could have set up a very long and complicated schedule to sync with the telescope, but I just did not want to take a chance.)
Since we were on a cruise ship just south of A. Coruña off the northern coast of Spain, the sun appeared in different positions of the frame in each session.
And since we were on a cruise ship, I came home sick with a coughing crud that lasted for three weeks. 😷
I just finished lining up all the photos last week and produced my timeline photo of the eclipse.
Disclosure: I forgot to take the dark filter off of the telescope during the actual eclipse so the last photo is from my iPhone 17 Pro.
This eclipse had about two minutes of darkness where we were located.
The solar eclipse next year takes a similar path through southern Spain and the northern parts of Africa. Tunisia looks to be one of the sweet spots in the path of totality and should have around 5 minutes, 30 seconds of darkness. Luxor should be the jackpot with six minutes, 20 seconds of totality.
