On June 10th this year, Xiris’ team woke up bright and early to relive that experience.  In order to capture the moment, our Subject Matter Expert, Anthony San Andres, set-up the Xiris XVC-1000 Weld Camera on a tripod and connected to WeldStudio™ on a laptop. The set-up and equipment used was similar to recording a live weld. However, in this case a 35mm S-mount lens on an extender tube was used to focus further into the sky. Due to the weld camera's High Dynamic Range capability, no additional filters were needed to capture the eclipse.    ![Weld Camera Setup](https://blog.xiris.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/DSC_0080.jpg?width=690&name=DSC_0080.jpg)Anthony’s camera setup in his backyard featuring his laptop, and XVC-1000  ![extended lens for focal distance](https://blog.xiris.com/hs-fs/hubfs/extended%20lens.jpeg?width=627&name=extended%20lens.jpeg) The extender tube to extend the focal distance   “It was my first time viewing a solar eclipse and it was incredible,” shares Anthony. “Having the weld camera was a good tool to experience it, because you cannot look directly at the sun without protective wear, so this really was one of the best ways to see and capture it right in the moment.” ![Weld Camera Image of Eclipse](https://blog.xiris.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/vlcsnap-2021-06-11-13h23m49s328.png?width=481&name=vlcsnap-2021-06-11-13h23m49s328.png) 5:55 AM: The sun was rising and this was the maximum partial eclipse ![vlcsnap-2021-06-11-13h23m56s406](https://blog.xiris.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/vlcsnap-2021-06-11-13h23m56s406.png?width=481&name=vlcsnap-2021-06-11-13h23m56s406.png) 5:59 AM: The sun made it over the tree line  ![Weld Camera Image of Eclipse](https://blog.xiris.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/vlcsnap-2021-06-11-13h24m08s988.png?width=481&name=vlcsnap-2021-06-11-13h24m08s988.png) 6:14 AM: Some clouds were visible    ![Weld Camera Image of Eclipse](https://blog.xiris.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/vlcsnap-2021-06-11-13h24m23s550.png?width=481&name=vlcsnap-2021-06-11-13h24m23s550.png) 6:30 AM: When the eclipse was almost over   If you have any questions or would like to know more about the [XVC-1000](https://www.xiris.com/xiris-xvc-1000/), click [here to request a one-on-one consultation](https://info.xiris.com/request-a-consultation) with one of our experts.  --- Stay up to date by following us on social media or [subscribe to our blog](https://share.hsforms.com/1IlwjPIzeTf-J0Fa2wCuuNw4fp6)!  [![Instagram](https://blog.xiris.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Instagram.png?width=26&name=Instagram.png)](https://www.instagram.com/xirisautomation/) [![Facebook](https://blog.xiris.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Facebook.png?width=24&name=Facebook.png)](https://www.facebook.com/XirisAutomationInc) [![LinkedIn](https://blog.xiris.com/hs-fs/hubfs/LinkedIn.png?width=24&name=LinkedIn.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/594303) [![Twitter](https://blog.xiris.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Twitter.png?width=32&name=Twitter.png)](https://twitter.com/XirisAutomation) ### Recent Posts ### You may also like: [![](https://blog.xiris.com/hubfs/Open%20Graph%20-%20Blogs-1.png) ## How HDR Weld Pool Camera Technology Reduces Arc Glare {% module_block module... ](https://blog.xiris.com/blog/how-hdr-weld-pool-camera-technology-reduces-arc-glare) [![Do Undercut Welds Need to Be Redone?
