Image Title: Sunset Eclipse

Data Acquisition Method: Personal Telescope Setup
Description and Details: Usually, clouds start rolling in as soon as any astronomical event begins at my place. This time, I got lucky! The partial eclipse was visible from start to sunset and offered truly incredible views for everyone equipped with a pair of eclipse glasses.
I had my Sony RX10 IV capturing an image every three minutes, which resulted in this stunning composite showing the changing position of the Sun and the degree of solar coverage throughout the eclipse.
We didn’t get to experience totality in Germany, but 87% solar coverage still made the lighting feel out of this world. I’ll remember this for a long time!
