Because It was my first total, I wanted to absorb it all visually - when the first diamond ring was imminent, I just whipped the filter off & kept clicking with the same settings I'd used for the partial (1/2000 sec etc), so it was completely hit or miss as to what I got. Wasn't about to fiddle about with settings with all that going on!! Later I did just adjust the exposure time to get more of the solar corona, but not the other settings.
Couldn't go very long before the ship movement interfered (not more than 1/40 sec at 200mm or 1/8 sec at 55mm).
While I got masses of shots of totality, I missed hardly any of it visually - consider myself lucky to get these results considering I didn't have a clue what I was doing!!
