Awesome shot of the Total Solar Eclipse I saw on Facebook

Just saw this shot on Facebook by Shigemi Numazawa (https://www.facebook.com/numazawa7) of the corona during the total eclipse in Indonesia. Great wider view!

This image is a combined shot (HDR) at various exposures to bring out the best in the eclipse.

If you look carefully enough you can actually see detail in the Moon itself !

Way to go Shigemi!

About La Pine Observatory

It has always been a dream of mine to have a place to store and use my various telescopes. After purchasing an original C8 and a 13 inch Dobsonian telescope, I knew I had to finally build an observatory to put them in.

This is a roll-off roof design. The interior is 8 foot by 8 foot, just barely enough room for my needs at present. There is still some work to be done to make the roll-off roof easier to move (it turned out to be much heavier than I expected...but then, it will not blow off!)

My desire is to produce some good quality images of the night sky and bring awareness to the awesome creativity of God in the starry heavens.
