Notes: Prior to the eclipse I let the scope track the sun for about 30 minutes to verify tracking. Attached D750 to Stellarvue 90mm.
Attached 23 inch monitor to D750 via HDMI. Used this to focus. Took both RAW and JPG Fine shots. Took picture every 10 seconds from about 1:15 PM to about 3:43 PM.
There were clouds on and off throughout the eclipse. Aligned using Stellarvue 90mm with illuminated eyepiece.
