Ayer, 3 de octubre, fue el Open Day de la ESA en Madrid. Una de mis fotos formaba parte de la exposición de astrofotografía entre otras muchas actividades de este día tan interesante. Cogí un vuelo a primera hora desde Gran Canaria y pasé un día genial allí con mis amigos. Lamentablemente, no llegué a coincidir con los demás astrofotógrafos quedándome pena por ello, pero me era imposible llegar antes… Comparto en ‘stories’ más fotos del evento. . Yesterday, October 3rd, was ESA’s Open Day in Madrid. One of my photos was part of the astrophotography exhibition, among many other activities on this really interesting day. I caught an early morning flight from Gran Canaria and had a wonderful day there with my friends. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance to meet the other astrophotographers, which I’m really sorry about, but it was impossible for me to get there any earlier… I’ll be sharing more photos from the event in my stories. . . . . . . #astronomy #ESA #space #milkyway #astrophotography @europeanspaceagency taken in Villanueva De La Cañada, Madrid, Spain by @marprol

Máximo del eclipse parcial Como es imposible no saber ya a estas alturas, la pasada madrugada hubo un eclipse de Luna parcial. Mientras el ordenador y PIPP se siguen pelando con las mil y pico fotos que tengo para un timelapse, comparto también por aquí una imagen del máximo de eclipse capturada con el telescopio Maksutov 127mm y la Sony a7IV. Este era el equipo que monté para el timelapse, que con tanga nube, no creo que vaya a quedar muy bien. Cest la vie! Me sorprende un poco haber capturado la banda turquesa o de ozono es una sola imagen (no HDR) y con las condiciones meteorológicas de anoche. . Maximum of the Partial Eclipse As if it were possible not to know by now, there was a partial lunar eclipse in the early hours of this morning. While the computer and PIPP are still battling it out with the more of thousand photos I have for a timelapse, I’m also sharing an image of the maximum eclipse here, captured with the SkyWatcher Maksutov 127mm telescope and the Sony a7IV. This was the setup I used for the timelapse, which, with so many clouds around, I don’t think is going to turn out very well. C’est la vie! I’m a little surprised that I managed to capture the turquoise/ozone band in a single image (not HDR), especially given the weather conditions last night. . . . . . . #astronomy #Moon #eclipse #umbra #astrophotography @natgeoesp @twanight @astronomypicsdaily @europeanspaceagency @space_weather_daily @nasa_solarsystem @astronomiamag @skyandtelescopemag @skywatcherusa @sky_watcher_official by @marprol

Eclipse parcial de Luna Esta pasada madrugada, desde las 03:33am que la Luna comenzó a entrar en la umbra, hasta las 05:13am que era el máximo de este eclipse parcial, las nubes no me dejaron hacer gran cosa :/. A pesar del sueño, decidí esperar por algún hueco. Tenía una cámara montada en el telescopio (Mak 127mm) con la idea de hacer un timelapse, peeeeero… ☁️ Igualmente tengo el portátil echando humo procesando en PIPP las mil y pico imágenes de ese setup. Con la otra cámara, hice estas dos imágenes a 600mm (recorte a vertical 5:4) y 200mm (recorte a 5:4). Espero que tú, desde donde estés, lo hayas podido capturar mejor… . Partial Lunar Eclipse Last night/early this morning, from 3:33 a.m., when the Moon began entering the umbra, until 5:13 a.m., when the partial eclipse reached its maximum, the clouds wouldn’t let me do much :/. Despite being sleepy, I decided to wait for a gap in the clouds. I had a camera mounted on the telescope (Maksutov 127 mm) with the idea of making a timelapse, buuuut… ☁️ Still, I’ve got my laptop working overtime processing the thousand-plus images from that setup in PIPP. With the other camera, I managed to get these two images at 600 mm (cropped to a 5:4 vertical format) and 200 mm (cropped to 5:4). I hope you were able to capture it better from wherever you are… . . . . . #astronomy #Moon #eclipse #umbra #astrophotography @natgeoesp @twanight @astronomypicsdaily @europeanspaceagency @space_weather_daily @nasa_solarsystem @astronomy.magazine @skyandtelescopemag by @marprol

Efecto Novaya Zemlya (Nueva Zembla) La última tarde que pasamos en Galicia este verano (unos días después del eclipse total de Sol) fuimos a despedirnos desde un lugar muy especial, muy cerca de donde mi abuelo, como tantos otros marineros gallegos, perdió la vida en el mar. Esa tarde, la refracción atmosférica nos regaló uno de los espejismos más impresionantes que he visto. Con el Sol ya bajo el horizonte, la imagen polar mostró la forma caprichosa de lo que a mi me parece un barco (1, 2), además del Sol cuadrado muy típico de este espejismo (3). . Novaya Zemlya Effect The last afternoon we spent in Galicia this summer (a few days after the total solar eclipse), we went to say goodbye from a very special place, very close to where my grandfather, like so many other Galician sailors, lost his life at sea. That afternoon, atmospheric refraction gifted us one of the most stunning mirages I have ever seen. With the Sun already below the horizon, the polar image showed the peculiar shape of what looks to me like a ship (1, 2), along with the square Sun so typical of this mirage (3). . . . . . #astronomy #Sun #NovayaZemya #sunset #galicia @natgeoesp @twanight @astronomypicsdaily @europeanspaceagency @space_weather_daily @nasa_es @nasasolarsystem @astronomy.magazine @skyandtelescopemag @astronomiamag taken in O Grove, Rias Baixas, Galicia by @marprol

Where were you when the sky went dark? 🌚🌞 On 12 August 2026, the Moon’s shadow crossed Europe, and members of the #yourESA community went out to see it for themselves. First up: an animation from @marprol, shot through a solar telescope in Galicia. It shows the eclipse building, frame by frame, right up until her mount disconnected and her laptop overheated. That’s eclipse chasing for you. Things go wrong, and you keep shooting anyway. From there, swipe through to see the rest. Some of the community travelled a long way to stand in the path of totality. Others waited with a filter and a lot of patience, watching the Sun thin down to a curve. Between them, they used telescopes, telephoto lenses, even a Polaroid, to hold onto a few minutes that don’t come round very often. @emanuele.nifosi.photography, Cava d’Aliga, Sicily, Italy Emanuele ran two rigs, one tuned to hydrogen-alpha light, the other a straightforward telescope and camera pointed at the low Sun. This is that second shot, the Sun sinking towards the sea over Sicily, most of its disc gone, wrapped in the deep red only a sunset eclipse can give you. @miguel_claro, Bodegas Nabal, Burgos, Spain Miguel was one of five photographers invited to a private viewing event in Burgos, and this is what he came home with. He blended nine exposures into one frame, shot from a hotel balcony during the 104 seconds of totality. The result: the Sun’s corona, stretched out across a dark sky. @alexconu, Castrillo de la Reina, Burgos, Spain Alex took a different route entirely. No digital sensor, just a @polaroid 195 camera loaded with black and white film. He captured every phase of the eclipse on a single frame, filter on for the partial stages, filter off to catch totality and the landscape around him. As far as he knows, it’s the first eclipse sequence ever shot on Polaroid. @mehmet.erguen, Atienza, Guadalajara, Spain Mehmet caught totality from Atienza, close enough to the Moon’s edge to pick up the red flares of the Sun’s chromosphere breaking through. Shot on a Nikon Z8 with a 18-600mm lens, tracked on a Wave 100i mount. That thin red line is real. It’s the Sun’s edge, peeking round the Moon. Thanks to A deep orange crescent Sun, mostly covered by the Moon, low in a dark red sky above a black horizon. taken in Planet Earth by @marprol

SOL El pasado sábado pasé otro ratito con nuestra estrella. Esta vez, transitó una avioneta Cessna U2060 Stationair a 5600 pies.
