Hybrid Solar Eclipse 2023 - Exmouth, Western Australia

            Nikon d5500
300mm 
f/9

Totality stage - ISO 100 - 1/320 second
Corona - ISO 100 - 21 x 1/320 second
Baader solar filter

My first attempt at photographing, and watching, a total solar eclipse. The experience is beyond words and something every person should witness once in their lives. I set myself down at Pebble Beach, just over 10km south of the main town. I was joined by many other car loads of people, from all around the world, who had all driven down onto the pebbled beach and set up their equipment, most of which was much more sophisticated looking than mine. When totality began everybody erupted in cheers.

This is a sequence of shots from start to finish including the totality stage with the two diamond rings and corona.

This was taken with a 300mm lens on a 1.5 crop sensor camera, making the focal length effectively 450mm. I used Baader solar film to fashion a home made filter and it did the job as well as I could have expected, showing very clearly some sun spots and giving nice detail in the various prominences extending from the surface of the star, which were also visible to the naked eye.
