On 12 August 2026, a total solar eclipse was visible from Europe. We traveled to the north of Spain to capture this amazing event. Here you can find the closeup images. Wide-field images from the same event can be found here, and an extensive blog describing the planning, preparation and a detail account of events can be found here.

On 29 March 2025, a partial solar eclipse was visible from the West of Europe and the East of North America. From Groningen, a maximum coverage of about 25% was reached around mid-day. While clouds prevented a continuous experience, some nice images and even a full timelapse of the event was created.

Solar imaging has been in the works for a long time now. But I’m now far enough with my setup that I can actually make decent solar images. See here the first result with both a full disk image and a close-up of a prominence. Both images are also processed as timelapse video. A lot of room for improvement, but off to a good start.
