Observation and photography guide for the 2027 Total Solar Eclipse
1 min read
Photographing the corona over the Strait from a boat deck takes planning, certified filters and exact contact times.
Key points
- Lock the date, location and duration first; Sotogrande lies inside the path with about 4 min 17 s of totality.
- A solar filter is mandatory for every partial phase; it comes off only during totality.
- Use different settings for the partial phase and for totality, and rehearse them before the day.
- On a boat, keep support light: a compact tripod or stabilised optics beat a heavy mount.
This is a short digest. The complete, always up-to-date article, including current prices and availability, lives on the dedicated eclipse site.
