Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the findings of the author's astronomical expedition to Spain in 1860 to observe a total eclipse of the sun. The author was motivated by previous astronomical photography successes and desired to expand this newfound technique to capturing the elusive totality phase of an eclipse. The narrative details the many obstacles the author faced in preparing for the expedition, including acquiring materials and equipment, traveling to the remote observation site, and overcoming challenges such as inclement weather, equipment malfunctions, and lost time. Included in this volume are the results of observations made during the eclipse, accompanied by a series of photographs the author took during totality, which are considered groundbreaking at the time. These photographs captured unprecedented detail of the solar corona and surrounding prominences, revolutionising our understanding of the sun's outer atmosphere. The author also discusses the significance of these findings within the broader context of solar astronomy and highlights their enduring legacy in advancing our knowledge of the sun.
