Also, depending on the scene that we're able to find, I may use a Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II lens to capture a wider landscape during totality to composite all of the phases into in Photoshop.

Could you elaborate on your shooting process while using an equatorial mount? i.e. using guiding software or manually adjusting your setting as it progresses?

Hi, Holly! Great question. Luckily the tracker that we use has a solar tracking function. I polar align the tracker the night before and leave it set. Then all I have to do the day of is place the camera+lens on, balance it, and use the remote control to set the tracker to move with the sun's position.

Oh, and then for settings, adjusting as it progresses as needed. Will need to remove the solar filter during totality as well!

Awesome! I had saw during your stories for the annular eclipse that you guys picked up an EQ mount and started playing with my azimuth mount crossing my fingers that it would work. Then my spouse surprised me with an EQ for this eclipse! Crossing my fingers for clear weather now!
