Just wanted to share with you this video I edited last night. Tried to uploaded on YouTube but due the music I had to cut the audio there (I uploaded a second time requestion permissions thought)

For a while here is on my Facebook with the music (and some effects and background sounds trying to save music copyright on platforms)

Sorry, tittles are in Spanish.

Note: this was a last hour decision. Even I live on a city where the full eclipse was guaranteed it was to last long just 60"... so I moved where it was to last long allmost double (hour and a half driving to the north, 10 miles or so from the centerline of the eclipse), throught mountains) and with a clean horizon, over the mountains. The eclipse was to happen really close to the horizon.

Also is CHEAP "production". My Reflex camera and lenses are in Venezuela yet, so I went for the CHEAPER and locally bought gears on this. Aside I'm not a photographer or a huge optics knowledgeable guy, just on the basics. Just the laptops was the good gear, and was used for wireless recording and better screen view instead throught the lense.

It was hard trying to locate and track the sun with the stand the telescope came with, aside since everything began cloudy, I couldn't take the time to adjust everything the best as posible before the showtime, so please, be patiente on that.

My priority was anyway to live it personally since it was to be very short, so the remote view and recording was just secondary on this

Next year Spain will get again a full eclipse opportunity, but will have to drive around 6-7 hours to the south. This time will be at 10 am and will last long around 6 minutes. Maybe will be more "enjoyable" due the long time, but maybe not as beautiful than this being so close to the horizon and the sunset at the end.

I hope you enjoy it.
