A solar image from a test session to set up in preparation for imaging the upcoming eclipse.
A single exposure of the total phase, edited to bring out corona details. The bright star Regulus (actually a 4 star system consisting of 2 pairs of binaries) is seen in this image to the lower left, only about a degree away from the eclipsed Sun.
A fast exposure nearing the end of totality highlights some huge prominences on the edge of the sun prior to the diamond ring effect bursting out.
