My process was Nikon D750 on tripod with Nikon 200-500mm at 500mm, AutoFocus set to Manual, use live view on tilt screen and zoom all the way into the moon it covers the whole screen and you only see half the moon. the Live Preview on a D750 shows the actual exposure in the live view, so adjust the ISO=100, Shutter=1/200 and F8 to start and adjust Shutter up/down till appropriately exposed. Get the focus sharp (it wiggles all over but you can really nail it with the preview exposure and zoom in live view. Then let the whole tripod/lens settle down (takes about 3-5 seconds) then use the remote shutter and take the photo. I don't think most Nikon DX cameras have the preview in live view. Also had to increase ISO at full eclipse and Shutter down to 1.6 seconds. Then photoshop them individually into one composite. Bag acts as extra weight on tripod and it was right in the front yard so Ring doorbell 'protected' it while I watched tv and only came out every 15mins to take the phases.How did you do this? I tried and failed!
