This feature just might come in handy on the 21st

I can do multiple exposures in camera and I am playing with that feature.
Here is the moon at 600mm X 3
f:/11
ISO 160
1/100 second

That should be pretty neat with the Eclipse.

Funny, I was fiddling with similar in my phone camera up in Washington.
I'm still leaning toward my intervalometer for spacing.

This is just a play around thing. If I try this in daylight the images get washed out..
But I had to try.

Ron, I was goofing around with this.
I shot each shot within a few seconds by putting the moon in the bottom corner, reposition to center and then top.
No timing just crude point it here and let her rip.

At least you are trying Jim.
And feeding back valuable information.
I'm sure you have helped many others wanting to prep for The Great American Eclipse!
I know you've helped me, and for that I Thank You.

You are very welcome.
I figure if I can help why should I keep it to myself?
Here's hoping everyone follows safety guidelines and no one gets injured.
Reminder, the solar filter must go on the end of the telescope towards the sun. I had an optometrist friend that tried to use binoculars with his solar glasses and ruined his glasses and almost injured his eyes from not thinking during the event.
Pay attention to the details.
I know you know this but so did he. Don't be careless.

Reason being, lenses concentrate the light. Solar glasses, films, or whatnot, are rated to reduce Solar light before it is concentrated.
Multiplying the rays is like taking a magnifying lens and concentrating the fire in your eye.
Remember burning leaves or ants as a kid?
Same thing...
Your Friend was really not thinking... and that is being about as nice as I can.
Can't save them all Jim. Some people still are bound to blow fingers off with firecrackers.
But not you, and not me.

All of my Sony cameras can download and use camera apps. One of them is a Time-Lapse app which works very nicely (and I've used it quite extensively for star trails, cloud motion and Aurora time-lapses) BUT I'm sorta ol' school and will be using my wired intervalometer for the eclipse. Maybe I just trust it more or whatever...
Plus I don't have to exit an app as well as take off a filter to shoot totality, then re-install the filter and restart the app to finish off the Moon's exit. Popping on/off the filter will be action enough in the heat of the moment. Two plus minutes of totality is not a great deal of time!!

I have two wireless intervalometers and that's my plan as well.. stick with what got you there.
Still haven't decided which setup is going to get the nod and may not decide until the 21st at breakfast.
