Stub Mandrel Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Given the weather I'm only slightly surprised to see so few shots of the eclipse. I set up my scope and despite clear sun five minutes before and after I was never able to get it on the sensor - the sun wasn't bright or strong enough to cast a dot in my solar finder. Ironically it was so weak through the clouds it was possible to see the eclipse naked eye towards the end, so I ran and got my bridge camera and tried a few shots at focal lengths up to 1000mm equivalent F/L and 1/2500 second, using my mount as a support! Contrast was very poor, but I got about ten usable shots. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmot Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I like it. The cloud adds to the shot and the partial eclipse can be clearly seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carastro Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Well done Neil. I think most of the UK images I've seen (not many) have cloud in them. Carole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkulin Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Excellent Neil and the clouds certainly do add to the atmosphere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
