Really nice for hand held. Did you prop against a pole or something?

No.
And the sigma 150-600 lens is massive.
And, at 600mm, is about 12 inches.
I had to take a number of shots before I got one I halfway liked.
@HumanistJohn Well the weight of that lens helped dampen the shutter and steady your arms. Keep experimenting with that setup.
And a fast shutter speed helps of course.
I did have to play around with settings- I wanted to use a low ISO.
I started out with auto ISO using different shutter and f-stop but I wasn't happy with the results...

Posted by starwatcher-alI missed the early phases of the eclipse but the clouds mostly left during totality. All in all a great eclipse. Next one is Nov. 8-22
