Thank you! Yes, the 2026 eclipse is just above the horizon in Catalunya; a bit higher in Iceland but that's a cloud magnet.
The 2027 eclipse passes over Gibraltar and northern Morocco before crossing over Tunisia and then onto Egypt. That's a much better option.

Wow! Dream stuff.

Seeing a total eclipse is on my bucket list so I'm planning to drive down to Spain for 2026, but it'll be just before sunset so a bit iffy. Maybe 2027 as well.

Very nice John!  Difficult to decide between both versions as equally aesthetically pleasing.  Good work.

John, is this OSC with an Ha filter.  I can see some colour in the stars. 

Lovely result by the way.

NGC 1499 aka California Nebula in HOO. This is an emission nebula located in the constellation Perseus. Its name comes from its resemblance to the outline of the US State of California.
