Unfortunately I was not able to travel to Chile and observe this eclipse. Fortunately my friend Emmanuele Sordini did and shared immediately his RAW shots the day after the eclipse! The result of processing are here below. Take a look also to Emmanuele's website with much more info about the travel and the imaging setup.
