Total Solar Eclipse, William L. Finley National Wildlife Reserve, Oregon, 10:17am 8-21-2017.
The roosters started crowing, Venus was visible overhead, and the photo just doesn't do it justice.

These were done with a D7000 UVIR conversion, and the Nikon 200-500mm lens + 1.4 teleconverter.
The before/after totality pics were done with a Baader H-Alpha (35nm band width version) stacked with a Baader AstroSolar 3.8 OD filter in the front.
DANGER: 3.5 OD can NOT be used to view the sun with your eyes, you need to use AstroSolar 5.0 OD to view the sun with your eyes. Be VERY careful which you use for what.
The totality shot is not filtered, it is a 'full spectrum shot'.

Beautiful corona/prominence shot!  I also like the partially eclipsed sun through the H-Alpha filter: the ripples on the surface are well seen.

Thanks for sharing, and I would also say, congratulations!

You certainly used your allotted 57 seconds well :D good planning of how to deal with a spectacular event, and the necessary bit of luck with weather too. Kudos.

Phantastic footage in a well through through setup. It was really worth the fuzz!
