Witnessing the Celestial Dance: A Total Eclipse Over Casarano
Last week, the skies above Casarano, in the province of Lecce, Italy, put on a truly awe-inspiring display: a total solar eclipse.
This rare and magnificent event was captured in a stunning photograph that showcases the Sun's corona as it was momentarily obscured by the Moon. The eclipse rose majestically above the iconic Church of the Madonna della Campana, creating a scene of profound natural beauty and human history intertwined.
Acquisition Details:
- Camera: Canon 6D
- Lens: Tair 300 f4.5 telephoto lens
- Exposure: 1 second
- ISO: 400
The photographer utilized a Canon 6D camera paired with a Tair 300 f4.5 telephoto lens, capturing the moment with a 1-second exposure at ISO 400. These settings allowed for a clear and detailed image of the corona, the Sun's outer atmosphere, which is only visible during totality.
Total solar eclipses are a powerful reminder of the dynamic and ever-changing nature of our solar system. Moments like these inspire wonder and a deeper appreciation for the cosmos above us.
