Hi all
Can anyone advise on the best way to photograph/film a total eclipse of the sun? I plan to bring a small telescope and mount, a digital camera, a video camera. If need be I could add a laptop and a webcam. The photo from 2006 (attached) was taken with a Canon Powershot A95 at 1/1000 second through a Stellarvue 50 mm finderscope. This time I would like to have more sophisticated capabilities. My ideal would be to have dozens of images that could be combined to bring out different levels of exposure, all taken automatically so that I can enjoy the show.
