2017-08-21 Solar Eclipse HDR
I've learned a few things about image processing since 2017 and revisited in March of 2020 data I collected during the August 2017 solar eclipse.
This photo, an HDR composite of images taken at different exposure lengths, reveals the detailed structure of the solar corona as well as reflected Earthshine illuminating the surface of the moon. Regulus, the brightest star in Leo, is visible to the far left and another star can be seen toward the upper right.
Telescope: Tele Vue 76mm f/6.3 refractor
Mount: iOptron iEQ45 Pro
Camera: Nikon D7100
Capture Software: Eclipse Orchestrator v3.7
Integration: 4 sets of exposures at 1/1600, 1/400, 1/100, 1/25, 1/6, 1/3, and 6/10 sec @ ISO 200, stacked to reduce noise and enhance detail.
