This is a collaboration between Jonathan Hill @jdh_astro and me, I provided the individual images, and Jonathan processed it using mathematical image processing to bring the delicate structure of the solar corona out across the whole brightness range.

This image spans a very wide brightness range, images from 1/500s to 8s were used to record the corona across the whole field of view of the 840mm focal length used for that image.

The structure of the corona is governed by the dynamic magnetic field lines of the sun, which can change within minutes on small scales, but also show variations across the suns approximately 11 year sunspot cycle.

The color of the August 12th Eclipse 2026 had a very distinct brownish hue, due to the sun's low altitude and residual smoke particles in the air after extensive forest fires in spain in the weeks before.

Shot with a Nikon Z6 and a 180-600mm lens with a 1,4x teleconverter on a Super Polaris mount tracking the apparent motion of the sun.

“Totality, 3:26”

*Astrobin Top Pick*

Finally getting around to publishing my images from the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse.

Weather forced us to abandon flights and lodging booked months in advance. We began in Texas and ultimately chased clear skies all the way north to New York, before crossing the border into Canada. The journey ended in Sherbrooke, Quebec, where pristine skies rewarded us with 3 minutes and 26 seconds of totality.

It is difficult to describe the beauty of totality to anyone who has never witnessed it firsthand, and no photograph can fully capture the experience. This image is my attempt.

The final image combines six bracketed sequences, each consisting of 12 exposures ranging from 1/500s to 4s, along with a single 6-second exposure used to capture the earthshine on the lunar surface.

A total solar eclipse presents some of the most difficult astrophotographical data to process. A special thanks to @jdh_astro, whose method I used for this image.

$A Hidden Gem ✨ Not every beautiful target has a famous name. Sh2-1 is a faint emission and reflection nebula illuminated by nearby stars, creating a striking contrast of glowing red hydrogen and soft blue dust. Astrophotographer Jonathan Hill used a RedCat 91 telescope to capture this gorgeous shot, with a 3D-printed diffraction spike mask adding a unique touch to the colorful starfield. Keep up with Jonathan’s work at @jdh_astro - you won’t want to miss his incredible views from dark skies! 🔭✨ Ready to uncover hidden gems like this?
