Live webcasting for Total Solar Eclipse 2019 at La Silla
On 2 July 2019 the European Southern Observatory (ESO) provided a 4-hour live webcast of the 2019 La Silla Total Solar Eclipse. This was a unique opportunity to be part of the only total solar eclipse visible from an ESO Observatory for the next 212 years.
The webcast was a “raw” feed without commentary switching between sources regularly, featuring views from three small telescopes and two camera views of spectators at the Observatory. The webcast finishes with a beautiful view of the Sun setting over the Pacific Ocean. A nice way to end a spectacular day at La Silla.
Production: Francois Glasser (APICAL)
Engineering: Lionel Gauze (APICAL) & Francois Glasser (APICAL)
Cinematography: Francois Glasser (APICAL) & Alexandre Santerne (Aix-Marseille University/LAM)
