Sneak peak at the outstandingly beautiful Total #SolarEclipse over Sahagún, Spain, 1/2 hour ago: see The eclipse from Sahagún, Spain - see https://www.facebook.com/dan.fischer.393/posts/pfbid022gFRLYWiWUcgqqTH9dGajFhpXVjTNQ8p39h264ry4oDmMP2ySsUZ26tTQPbVsewLl for 33 quickly processed timesteps.

And finally here is a most unexpected picture I just found looking through my #SolarEclipse images from Sahagún, Spain, taken experimentally before totality w/o a filter, for the first time in detail: a bird next to the solar crescent, caught in flight with 1/16,000 second at f/8 and ISO 200 - which the autofocus thankfully found more interesting than the astronomical event in the background ...

Just in - two videos of the Total #SolarEclipse from our observing spot in Sahagún, Spain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkGlwB_ZbNc

In continuation of my Sahagún #SolarEclipse totality series here is some fun during second partiality: see https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2026/08/05/allgemeines-live-blog-ab-dem-5-august-2026/#Aug13 for more timesteps (and eclipse pics having come in from elsewhere).

Final Sahagún sunset before the #SolarEclipse, from the primary observing site of our group, overlooking the small city - some sky color / extinction effect from a new big wildfire 33 km to the NW is evident but didn't affect the clarity of the magnified image much. So optimism prevails for tomorrow ...

The final sunset in Sahagún before the total eclipse, on 11 August - with interesting effects at the end.

Another visit to our favorite Sahagún bar ... and another regional newspaper found lying around: the Diario de #León had devoted pages 2 to 8 of the August 11 issue to the #SolarEclipse, here the beginning of an article about the events #ESA will be holding there - see also https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Videos/2026/08/A_total_solar_eclipse_is_coming_to_Europe

Could get my hands on five papers from #SolarEclipse day in #Sahagún - here are the two coolest frontpages.
