Eclipse on a rainy day

From St. Joseph, MO.

Clouds were thick with intermittent rain right up to totality, but then the clouds started to break in occasional patches and began intermittently clearing as the sun approached full again.

All images shot handheld with a Canon 80D, Canon 70-200 f/2.8 II IS L USM and 2X extender using a Marumi 77mm DHG ND-100000 Solid Neutral Density 5.0 Solar Eclipse Filter. I had a solid Celestron photographic tripod for mounting the camera, but I kept having to move it under shelter because of rain and at the last minute as clouds began breaking I just had to take the camera off the mount and shoot handheld while going between filter off and filter on and trying to guess at and dial in exposure settings as quickly as possible. I was unable to get very well focused or optimally exposed images, but found a few on the camera card from which to put together a series of the sun waxing back in. The first six were behind fairly heavy clouds, and the last four had only thin clouds blowing by so I was able to find a few exposures that weren't completely obscured.

Exposures:

Haphazard mix with or without ND-100000 solar filter (depending on cloud thickness) from 1/30 sec to 1/8000 sec, ISO ranging from 200 to 6400, f/5.6-f/8.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
