Testing astronomy equipment ready for Monday's eclipse

[S.A.M]

Picture taken with Canon 60 Da camera attached to William Optics 98 mm refractor on a Porta Mount II tripod.                                                 Tech info: shutter speed = 1/6400 of a second, ISO = 1600 and f ratio of 6.3.                                                                                                    

Hope people in SGL land enjoy my effort?

Forgot to add, as it came off the camera no processing in Photoshop etc.

Nice photo Peter. Congrats.

That's very nice for a single frame.  I'd be tempted to see if you can reduce the ISO setting and increase the exposure time.

Looks like the equipment is working perfectly let's hope the weather is decent.

All set for the big event then, good luck.

Thanks for the info James, I intend using an ISO of 250 for the partial and might increase this a bit for the main event.  Just wanted to try out my equipment and make sure everything was working okay?  Even the weather is on our side just looked outside to see the moon blazing away, last two total solar eclipses I viewed where clouded out
