Description

This was my first ever eclipse, and I decided at the last minute (late Sunday morning) to make the trip from Sugar Land, Texas to the most ideal spot in Arkansas. I didn't do a lot of planning, I just setup my DSO imaging rig using my QHY600M-PH in Photographic Mode, and setup a sequence in NINA to image several exposures in a range from 1/4000s to 8s. The shortest exposures captured the final moment of the Moon transiting across the solar disc. The exposures from 0.008s and onward captured full totality. I definitely am lacking in shorter exposures to have fed the HDRComposite tool in PixInsight to push the data hard without "blowing out" the inner most parts of the Corona. All in all, I am pleased with the image as it most resembles what I saw in the pristine skies offered in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
