This eclipse was special for its colours around the horizon. There were wonderful oranges and reds all around, the clouds lit up, some dark in silhouette, some golden, glowing yellowy-orange in the distance. You could see the shadow approaching against the clouds and then rushing away as it left. A great and wonderful experience that we will all never forget.
During the eclipse it was possible to see a prominence at about 2 o’clock and the planets Venus and Mercury were easily visible.
The desert venue for this eclipse was a little windy, buffeting equipment and making imaging and video at high magnifications a little difficult.
