Thanks everyone, yep a lot of research, but funny enough not much info out there on shooting totality with an Astro cam on a telescope! Lots around with a DLSR and camera lens.
I did a lot of test shots on the morning of the eclipse having only picked up the Solar filter on the Saturday before the eclipse and then of course clouds rolled in so couldn’t properly test before driving up to Exmouth.Talk about leaving it to the last minute and not being very well prepared!
Although I was up at 4 in the morning on the day to do polar alignment and get my focus perfect��, not everyone appreciated the mount slewing all over the place at that time but oh well it doesn’t come around all that often I thought.
Was truely an amazing experience, I’m definitely up for 2028. I have learnt some lessons so will be more prepared, will be much shorter bracketed exposures and I’ll look the timing of when I take what length exposures and then of course we will have 5 minutes of totality which will help.
