if you don’t feel like going outside.
YepThe darker it gets, the harder it is for a digital camera to focus & capture the available light.

Interesting, this one doesn't even show up on my tablet.
I can see your picture on my phone when I zoom in on it. Neat!Interesting, this one doesn't even show up on my tablet.
I'll zoom in on that one.
Nicely done! What lens and settings?Fumbled with my phone and a spotting scope for a while, just couldn't get it to stay in view, maybe the cold was making me shake too much so I brought out my Canon and a remote control. Just missed the full eclipse but got this shot:

Thanks, i didn't get much slower than 125th. I needed a tripod.Thanks, I think I'm still trying to get warm... The lens is a Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L first version, 0.4 sec at f/5.6, 400mm and ISO 800. I did the initial set up in auto and then switched to manual to use the remote.
Tripod for sure, I used to be able to hand hold some pretty slow speeds but that was a lot of years ago! I had to find the manual and learn how to use the remote all over again but I guess just the timer by itself would work too. Maybe I'll be more prepared for the next "event"...!
