Description

I drove to Stapleton, Nebraska for the solar eclipse on August 21, 2017. I used a Canon 7D Mark II and Canon 500mm f/4L IS telephoto lens, mounted on a gimbal head on a tripod. My intention was to use an iOptron CEM25, controlled using SkySafari on my phone, but the interface got stuck 20 minutes before the start of the eclipse, with the result being the DEC axis rotated until it hit part of the mount, beeped and stopped working, so I went to Plan B. This is an HDR image created from 5 images captured at f/8, ISO 100, 2 stops apart (from 1/500 sec to 0.5 sec) and processed using Aurora HDR software.
