Solar Eclipse Melbourne 20 April 2023 - Single Exposure

Partial Solar Eclipse imaged approx 1 hour ago, from Melbourne at 1330 20APR2023. You can see some sunspots and some solar surface detail through some very thin cloud creating a smokey appearance . Images cropped significantly from full frame.

Nikon D750 with Nikkor 1000mm f/11 Lens single exposure at 1/500 s ISO 100 fitted with Thousand Oaks Solar filter. Fixed tripod no tracking.

It was a last minute decision to setup for the eclipse, with plenty of should haves, so I was pleasantly surprised to pickup some sunspot and vague surface detail on this single exposure. It interests me to try further with video technique stacking and maybe some proper prep (and dare I say it battery charging, camera checks for RAW, not jpeg and cable checking - yikes).

Best
