Sunset Solar Corona Revealed in All It’s Glory During Total Solar Eclipse 2026 from Burgos
Behind the Trip, from Portugal to Burgos, Spain.
Taking an high resolution HDR image like that always represents an enormous amount of personal and professional efforts. This 2026 year, I was invited by Capture the Atlas as one of the 5 experts to the Eclipse Summit event in Burgos, Spain. The event last 4 days, with an audience of 100 photographers and eclipse chasers from around the world. Me and Apolónia, we had a great time there, meeting a lot of so nice and kind people, making new friends and reviewing a few of them. A special Thank you to Dan Zafra and Ascen for inviting us and the incredible organization they did. When the moment arrived, it was just Magical!!
The Sun’s Corona
The Corona is extremely hot and dynamic, being the outermost layer of the Sun’s atmosphere, it reveals intricate fine structures of delicate details distorted by the strong magnetic fields. Specially, close to the Solar maximum which happened in 2025 (peak of 11 years cycle of activity), the plasma of the Sun’s corona features a lot of loops and wispy white streamers radiating into space. But due to an immense level of brightness it is only possible to see when the Moon is perfectly covering the Sun. Safe enough to enjoy with our naked-eyes, much more well prepared and efficient to comprise and accommodate a larger high dynamic range, than our cameras, which even nowadays can’t do it at once. This is why we need to cover around 14 stops in the dynamic range and probably even more would be best, but bracketing can help achieve this milestone. This year, we had an additional chalange, as the eclipse was very low at the sunset, in the worst region regarding atmosphere layers, although I was very well impressed with all the details revealed in the Corona on the final image.
And why is so special ? Because not even SOHO in space, from NASA, can watch the inner corona of the Sun in white light. It only can see the most extensive part of the outer corona, using a coronagraph, from two solar radii distant of the Sun’s centre.
Why Eclipse HDR is so Challenging
Photographing a Total Solar Eclipse, is probably to most advanced and complex task in all of astrophotography fields, not only from preparing and planning which requires a bit of Mat to find the correct set of exposures according to your gear combination, ISO, lens aperture, right place to be, right time to start etc, etc, as well as from executing it in a stressful short amount of time. But also very hard and difficult to process in a time consuming task. First, because the Sun, the Moon and the stars have all different motions across the sky, which are evident in long focal distances and long exposures. Images must be aligned not on the Moon’s disc, not on the stars, and not even on the prominences (as it only works in shorter exposures), so to reveal the corona in full glory, images must be aligned on the coronal structures which are very hard and tricky, as they are faint, subtle and lacking of contrast, and they keep moving too on a lower speed. Noticeable though over the course of all bracketing, but inevitably negligible, for the final fusion in order to naturally reduce the presence of noise. And probably the most difficult final achievement, is to keep as much as possible, everything looking natural without overcooking it. It is a delicate balance between, contrast, light flow, color and detail which I tried to keep in mind and respect until the very end. I hope I did it! One thing I decided to keep, was the sunset colors that we actually get while viewing it with our own eyes, that golden glow on the Corona, was unique!!
Equipment and Exposures
The High Resolution image was captured with a Sigma lens at 600mm at f6.3, and a Nikon Z8 modified (Ha sensitive – not relevant for this type of TSE images) on Wave 150i mount. This time I only did 6 bracketed sequences of 9 shots each. The exposure time for each sequence bracketing was ranging from 1/125s, 1/60s, 1/30s, 1/15s, 1/8s, 1/4, 1/2s, 1s, 2s at ISO200, plus additional fast exposures of 1/4000 for C2 and C3 (Prominences and Baily’s Beads). The 90GB of images were acquired just for this setup, being thousand of them just for calibration frames such as flats, darks and bias.
Angelbird AV PRO SE CFexpress B4 TB
To ensure a high frame rate and fast performance in recording the images, I kindly had the incredible support of Angelbird, which provided me two CFexpress B of 4TBs each, and all acessories as the card readers of 40MBs and 20MBs. They work incredibly well, at a speed of 3700MB/s nothing beats this performance in the world market. Once again, me deeply gratitude for your support Angelbird.
Above we can see a different rotation with north facing down, to help drive our attention to other regions of the image which containing incredible details visible in the medium and outter Corona.

Mercury and a Waning Crescent Moon Against the Colorful Twilight of Antalya
Captured one day before the New Moon and the last Partial Solar Eclipse of the year, against the colorful background in the morning twilight of Antalya, Turkey, the image reveals not only a smiling Waning Crescent Moon but also the rare view of planet Mercury, the Inner planet more close to the Sun and by that reason, very difficult to see and spot it. Look carefully to the end of the pier where is the last lounge roof. Did you find the orange bright dot?
PT: Captada um dia antes da Lua Nova e do último Eclipse Solar Parcial do ano, contra o colorido pano de fundo do crepúsculo matinal de Antalya, na Turquia, a imagem revela não apenas uma Lua Minguante sorridente, mas também a rara visão do planeta Mercúrio, o planeta interior mais próximo do Sol, e por esse motivo, muito difícil de ser visto e identificado. Olhe atentamente para o final do pontão, onde fica localizado o tecto do último lounge. Encontrou o ponto laranja brilhante?.

Skywatcher Observing the Largest and Strongest Sunspot in a Decade
On this carefully planned single shot taken on September 7 with a telephoto lens at 600mm, 2,1km away from the Castle of Noudar Park, in Portugal, a skywatcher can be seen observing with its filtered binoculars the majestic group of sunspots (AR 2679; AR2674 and AR2673) well visible in the Sun´s disk just a few minutes before the sun going down behind the castle. On Sept. 6th at 1202 UT, the sunspot AR2673 – so large and wide as our entire planet Earth – (seen at the right side of the man´s silhouette) unleashed a major X9.3-class solar flare, the strongest solar flare in more than a decade. X-rays and UV radiation from the blast ionized the top of Earth’s atmosphere, causing a strong shortwave radio blackout over Europe, Africa and the Atlantic Ocean. The debris from Wednesday’s monster X9-class solar flare reached Earth last night, and its impact produced a severe G4-class geomagnetic storm.
Included in the great Alqueva Dark Sky Reserve – first site in the world to receive the “Starlight Tourism Destination” certification – Noudar Natural Park is located in a farm estate called Herdade da Coitadinha spreads across 1000 hectare, near the village of Barrancos (Alentejo, Portugal) and in the border with Spain. The road from the Park’s entrance to the Noudar Castle goes through an extensive holm oak grove (‘montado’) area, ending with a majestic view over the water lines. In Noudar, life presents itself in a state of wilderness and absolute purity.
The Castle of Noudar and the church of Nossa Senhora do Desterro is located between the Múrtega and the Ardila rivers which flow towards the West. Its construction was finished in 1307, during the reign of Don Dinis. The place was chosen because of its natural defenses, easy access and the closeness of a water spring of excellent quality. This medieval fortress was very important for border defense against the kingdom of Castile during the early 14th Century.
PT: Este disparo único cuidadosamente planeado, captado no Parque de Natureza de Noudar a 2,1 km de distância do Castelo e onde podemos ver a silhueta humano de um amigo (Fernando Formiga), enquanto observava com seus binóculos filtrados o majestoso grupo de manchas solares (AR 2679; AR2674 e AR2673) bem visíveis no disco do Sol enquanto este se punha atrás do castelo. No passado dia 6 de setembro, a mancha solar AR2673 – tão grande e ampla quanto o planeta Terra – (vista à direita da silhueta) desencadeou um grande Flare Solar de classe X9.3, a explosão solar mais forte em mais de uma década. Os raios-X e a radiação UV da explosão ionizaram o topo da atmosfera terrestre, causando um forte apagão de rádio de ondas curtas sobre a Europa, África e o Oceano Atlântico. As partículas carregadas decorrentes da explosão solar da passada quarta-feira chegaram à Terra na noite passada, e seu impacto produziu uma tempestade geo magnética de classe G4, classificada como grave. Isto é, auroraras boreais muito intensas que poderão ser visíveis até de Nova Iorque.

A Romantic Scene in a Lovely Sky
In this colorful lovely scene captured at the twilight, we can see two skywatchers enjoying his passion about the Universe, with a Crescent Moon shining between the clouds and above the Auxiliary Telescopes (ATs) of VLT.
The Very Large Telescope (VLT) is a telescope operated by the ESO – European Southern Observatory on Cerro Paranal in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile. The VLT is the world’s most advanced optical instrument, consisting of four Unit Telescopes with main mirrors of 8.2m diameter, which are generally used separately but can be used together to achieve very high angular resolution. The four separate optical telescopes are known as Antu, Kueyen, Melipal and Yepun, which are all words for astronomical objects in the Mapuche language, with optical elements that can combine them into an astronomical interferometer (VLTI), which is used to resolve small objects. The interferometer is complemented by four movable Auxiliary Telescopes (ATs) of 1.8 m aperture. The 8.2m diameter Unit Telescopes can also be used individually. With one such telescope, images of celestial objects as faint as magnitude 30 can be obtained in a one-hour exposure. This corresponds to seeing objects that are four billion (four thousand million) times fainter than what can be seen with the unaided eye. The telescopes can work together, to form a giant ‘interferometer’, the ESO Very Large Telescope Interferometer, allowing astronomers to see details up to 25 times finer than with the individual telescopes. The light beams are combined in the VLTI using a complex system of mirrors in underground tunnels where the light paths must be kept equal to distances less than 1/1000 mm over a hundred metres. With this kind of precision the VLTI can reconstruct images with an angular resolution of milliarcseconds, equivalent to distinguishing the two headlights of a car at the distance of the Moon.

Cerro Paranal Shadow projected in Cerro Armazones
Above the horizon we can see Cerro Armazones mountain illuminated by the sunset reddish color that is reflected in the land and high clouds, also with the projected shadow of Cerro Paranal. With an altitude of 3060 meterss in the central part of Chiles Atacama Desert, some 130 kilometers south of the town of Antofagasta and about 20 kilometers from Cerro Paranal, home of ESOs Very Large Telescope. Cerro Armazones will be the baseline site for the planned 39-metre-class European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), with a planned construction period of about a decade. The telescope’s “eye” will be almost half the length of a soccer pitch in diameter and will gather 15 times more light than the largest optical telescopes operating today. The telescope has an innovative five-mirror design that includes advanced adaptive optics to correct for the turbulent atmosphere, giving exceptional image quality. The main mirror will be made up from almost 800 hexagonal segments.

Twilight and Sun Pillar in Cerro Paranal
After the sunset, in the beginning of twilight, a partial cloudy sky can promote an impressive combination of beautiful colors. Sometimes, we can see a phenomenon called Sun Pillar. A sun pillar is a vertical shaft of light extending upward from the sun. This great moment was captured in Cerro Paranal, where stands the VLT Telescope.

Crepuscular Rays in Tomina
Image captured near Convento da Tomina region, a area inside the great Contenda homestead, near Moura and Barrancos, Portugal. In the sky we could see the dramatic effect of the phenomenon known as “Crepuscular rays, in atmospheric optics, are rays of sunlight that appear to radiate from the point in the sky where the sun is located. These rays, which stream through gaps in clouds (particularly stratocumulus) or between other objects, are columns of sunlit air separated by darker cloud-shadowed regions. Despite seeming to converge at a point, the rays are in fact near-parallel shafts of sunlight, and their apparent convergence is a perspective effect (similar, for example, to the way that parallel railway lines seem to converge at a point in the distance).”
“The name comes from their frequent occurrences during crepuscular hours (those around dawn and dusk), when the contrasts between light and dark are the most obvious. Crepuscular comes from the Latin word “crepusculum”, meaning twilight.”
