Hi Peter,

Thanks so much for taking the time to post this, it's exactly what i was looking for as I too will be travelling to TN, Usa in August to chase the eclipse.

That last shot you have posted of the corona (petal like formation) was that a single 2-3 second shot, or a stack of images? Seems like ~500mm is the recommended focal length for these types of images?

I'm going to have one camera setup (trying to work out which one to take/buy) and will practice as much as possible before hand. May even purchase a skywatcher tracker. I don't want to spend too much time with camera and really want to spend as much time as possible observing totality with naked eye.

Thanks again!
