As part of our European vacation, we experienced early evening totality with family and friends on the grounds of the medieval castle in Sigüenza, Spain. Solar images were taken with a Canon EOS R camera with a RF 100-400 mm zoom lens and 2X telextender set to 600 mm. Video was taken with a Sony RX100 VII compact camera.
