Nikon Z9 Astrophotography | Photographing A Total Solar Eclipse

Nikon Z9 Astrophotography, got to love it! This is a video photographing the 2023 total solar eclipse in Exmouth Western Australia. This was the first time I had experienced a total solar eclipse before. I had also planned to view this eclipse in 2018, and after 5 years of waiting it was finally here.
Exmouth was the place to be for 100% totality, and even though it lasted for only a short of amount of time, the experience was utterly surreal, utterly amazing and utterly memorable.

To photograph/video the eclipse I used a Nikon Z9 and Nikon 200-500 f/5.6 lens.
Thanks for watching!

Great video! Wish that you had given some advice on settings...

Thanks! Looking back I should have but at the time the adrenaline was pumping.
If you’re after settings, this guide here will help: (www.photopills.com/articles/solar-eclipse-photography-guide).
There’s a free pdf to download that has all the settings and when to change them.

@@Blinsaff, thank you! I've been watching CZcams and reading. My head is spinning. It's not like we get a practice run at it. I live in Maine and have until Monday 4/8/24 to study and try to remember it all. Hopefully, instinct will kick in. If not, it'll still be an amazing thing to see. Thanks for the link!!!
