Thought I’d share this amazing eclipse image with you by Robin Leadbeater (http://www.threehillsobservatory.co.uk/astro/spectra_27.htm) using a Star Analyzer at a total eclipse in Turkey in 2006. I’m working on a solar imaging outfit this year in preparation for trying to get a similar shot in Mazatlan in 2024! You can see the diffuse spectrum of the corona surrounding the bright continuous spectrum of the photosphere with emission lines from the chromosphere. Amazing!

Best wishes for a Happy Near Year and Clear Skies in 2023.
