[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 808962, member: 48483"] It's astrophotography, but definitely not nightime or low-light. This is another practice run for next April's solar eclipse. I will do another run on a less-hot day and try to dial in my tracking telescope mount without having any stars to align to (besides the sun). This is with Z5, Sigma 150-600mm C and a 6-inch square ND solar filter. [ATTACH type="full"]394648[/ATTACH] Now swapping camera body to D600 infrared conversion. [ATTACH type="full"]394646[/ATTACH] And this one is a D750, Nikkor 500mm reflex lens from the 1970s, and a homemade solar filter from cardboard and a sheet of flexible solar film. [ATTACH type="full"]394647[/ATTACH] The plan as it is now is to put the D750 with 500mm reflex lens on the tracking telescope mount and let it go for a time-lapse of the partial eclipse phases. Even though the lens is not nearly as sharp as the Sigma, it should give me the partial phase series I'm looking for. I will have the Z5 and Sigma lens on tripod with a gimbal head for my taking photos with filter on the partial phases and remove filter for the total period. The infrared D600, no plan yet. I may have another tripod set up and my 70-200mm f/2.8G and just shoot a couple during total phase. I don't know how many might have tried to capture the corona in infrared. [/QUOTE]
