I have dinner at my parents tomorrow so I will have to take everything with me and their yard is not ideal for the start. I warned them I may go out for a bit to the local park then come back when the moon is higher but that means moving everything.

However, I do like the larger image scale this gives so I think I will go with the refractor even though it means taking more equipment with me.
We will proably leave before the end as well so if I can be bothered I would have to setup again at home.

I wasn't planning on an animation and circumstances will prevent me getting such regular frames from start to finish.

Use the refractor and take standard shots with bracketing.

I like this idea I can have endless fun trying to blend them later. I do want to try this for the partial phase.

Not film as in movie mode, I will stick with still shots and depending what they look like stack them.
