Eclipse

 

That's it.

That's my shot. 





Shot from the Florida Panhandle at the peak of the event, 10" Meade ACF autotracking telescope coupled to a Nikon Z7 using a short Starbossa Z-mount adaptor. Focus is manual via the scope controls, using Focus Peaking in the camera and a DJI drone piloting VR headset coupled to the camera via an HDMI cable. f/8 1/30sec ISO25600. 

It's now 4AM. I'm going to bed.

  5. I really, really wanted to see it. I enjoy moongazing. But we had clouds that were projected to persist and it was cold so I said "screw it" and went to bed before it began.

    So I guess what I want to say to you (with hope that it's more meaningful than a rote incantation at the Lowes register) is thank you for your service. Beautiful shot.

  9. I stayed up thru totality and took a few shots with my Sony SLR using a Tamron zoom lens that goes to 300mm. They were ok, but nothing like yours. Your shot is simply awesome!
