Mostly observed them through the viewfinder of my camera, taking photos.  For this eclipse, my goal was to automate the process, and simply watch the eclipse take place while six cameras, operated by my Mac, took as many pictures as possible.  There were a few glitches.  The battery of the Nikon, taking polarization images, died right before the eclipse and, due to the upside-down mounting of the camera, wouldn&#8217;t slide out to be replaced.  And there were problems with the flash spectrum camera.  But &#8220;the Rig&#8221; took over 200 individual images, plus a Virtual Reality video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"http:\/\/astro.shubertnm.net\/wp_astro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Corona-HDR-Print-4-GC-4-1024x819.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16\" srcset=\"http:\/\/astro.shubertnm.net\/wp_astro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Corona-HDR-Print-4-GC-4-1024x819.jpeg 1024w, http:\/\/astro.shubertnm.net\/wp_astro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Corona-HDR-Print-4-GC-4-300x240.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/astro.shubertnm.net\/wp_astro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Corona-HDR-Print-4-GC-4-768x614.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>This is &#8220;the&#8221; image &#8211; an HDR image processed with custom software from 9 individual exposures from 1\/1000 to 1\/4 second.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/astro.shubertnm.net\/wp_astro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/eSony_8211017_001_BUR_004-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17\" srcset=\"http:\/\/astro.shubertnm.net\/wp_astro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/eSony_8211017_001_BUR_004-819x1024.jpeg 819w, http:\/\/astro.shubertnm.net\/wp_astro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/eSony_8211017_001_BUR_004-240x300.jpeg 240w, http:\/\/astro.shubertnm.net\/wp_astro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/eSony_8211017_001_BUR_004-768x960.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/astro.shubertnm.net\/wp_astro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/eSony_8211017_001_BUR_004.jpeg 1111w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption>Bailey&#8217;s Beads &#8211; one of the imaging goals.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"546\" src=\"http:\/\/astro.shubertnm.net\/wp_astro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Partial-Phases-1024x546.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20\" srcset=\"http:\/\/astro.shubertnm.net\/wp_astro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Partial-Phases-1024x546.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/astro.shubertnm.net\/wp_astro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Partial-Phases-300x160.jpg 300w, http:\/\/astro.shubertnm.net\/wp_astro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Partial-Phases-768x409.jpg 768w, http:\/\/astro.shubertnm.net\/wp_astro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Partial-Phases.jpg 1930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"996\" src=\"http:\/\/astro.shubertnm.net\/wp_astro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Fisheye-Venus-1024x996.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19\" srcset=\"http:\/\/astro.shubertnm.net\/wp_astro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Fisheye-Venus-1024x996.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/astro.shubertnm.net\/wp_astro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Fisheye-Venus-300x292.jpg 300w, http:\/\/astro.shubertnm.net\/wp_astro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Fisheye-Venus-768x747.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The full sky view.
