Took 184 photographs of the solar eclipse using my Orion ED80APO optic on a iOptron ZEQ25GT mount....the Sony a7ii was set at 1/1250 - ISO 100 - f/-.-(f-stop of the optic is 7.1)
Took the photos into Lightroom CC2015 for all editing
.
There was a 'median flip' to contend with at just after the 'peak' for me here. The peak coverage was only 90.1%(I should have traveled north to get the better imagery, but the weather forecast/report was 80% cloud cover....I owe the entire crew at the Weather Channel a kick in their soft spots for not being able to get the cloud cover forecast correct for 6hrs in the future!
