Photobook Texas
The photobook of the Texas – Austin, Houston, Galveston series is now readily available at my Blurb bookstore. Even if you don’t want to buy it, paging through the preview gives a good impression of the book, which I think turned out rather well.
Die Serie Texas – Austin, Houston, Galveston is jetzt als Fotobuch bei Blurb verfügbar. Auch wenn man es nicht kaufen will, kann man beim Durchblättern in der Vorschau einen guten Eindruck gewinnen. Ziemlich gut geworden, finde ich.
Texas – Austin, Houston, Galveston
Nach 2017 brachte uns wieder eine Sonnenfinsternis über den großen Teich in die USA, im April 2024. Die Wetteraussichten favorisierten Texas, daher ging’s dann dort auch hin. Das mit der Sonnenfinsternis wurde noch spannend, aber zunächst einmal standen die Städte Austin, Houston und Galveston auf dem Programm, deren Portrait sich in dieser ersten Bilderserie findet.
After 2017, another total solar eclipse brought us back to the US, in April 2024. The weather forecasts favoured Texas, thus that’s where we went. Things turned out a bit differently with the eclipse, but the first part was a visit to the cities of Austin, Houston, and Galveston, portrayed in this first series of images.

Total Solar Eclipse 2024 – Inverted Corona
Different processing of the corona exposure series, using PixInsight’s FFTRegistration script to align the images, which worked rather well.

Another image from the total solar eclipse of 08 Apr 2024, a highly processed HDR composite of the corona, using 13 x 2 exposures from 1/1000 to 4 s.
There was a bit of a focus problem which I noticed only when reviewing the telephoto frames. Thus, my TSE 2024 shots aren’t as sharp as they could be.
