Taken approximately every 5 minutes, this shows a snapshot of the whole eclipse in a single image. Of course this was a single shot for each image. This was a much more involved sequence that it should have been. I had programmed 2 "Promote" remote computers to do this sequence, and I find out when I was setting up that I did not have the cables (which got left at home) to use these, so I had to do it manually. So I "thought" I had set the bracket function on to take 5 shots each time, but it did not do that, and only took the same exposure each time I counted 5 shots. Fortunately it was the correct exposure throughout. Then I forgot to take the shots with the filter off, and I did take the filter was off. So the totality shot was from my camera with telephoto, and somehow I missed one frame of the sequence and had to supplement it with another taken with the telephoto, but I was using a Baader filter (with a blue image) as opposed to the Thousand Oaks filter (with an orange image).

I also could not find my right angle viewer for the camera so it was very difficult trying to view through the camera and see the Sun through the filter, so I had to keep re-orienting the camera several times just to get the image. It is amazing I accomplished as much as I did for this photo!
