Thanks very much! I fear however that the information has led me to believe that trying to capture images via the telescope may be too much lens as it has a 2000 mm focal length. Perhaps another filter for my Sigma 150-600 would work better.

I have a D3200 mated to my 8" Celestron telescope. Solar filter for the scope is inbound. I'm wondering what might be the ballpark settings to capture the April 8th total solar eclipse. Thanks in advance...

Just wondering what the life span is for a (properly oriented) CR2016 in a FotoTech remote shutter release. I have two and put new batteries in both a couple months ago but neither worked over the weekend. Either they died quickly or I've forgotten how to use them.

Greetings all. I currently have a D3200 but would like to improve my chances of capturing images in two widely different environments, those being the Milky Way and wildlife, particularly birds. The 810 appears capable of both. Lens suggestions? Thanks.
