Solar eclipse timelapse
A little late to the party, but it took me quite some time to get this timelapse just right, where the sun doesn't shake all over the place. The first eclipse I captured!
Took the photos with my Sony A7IV and Sigma 150-600mm lens at 600mm, on my iOptron CEM26 mount. 4 photos per minute, 468 in total, exposure changed depending on level of coverage, and brightness during the sunset. Used lightroom to smooth out the changes in exposure setting when the change was too big visually. (Even 1/3 stop was a drastic change on the photos sometimes.) And used a python script to get the sun centered properly.

Since JWST found the first candidate Quasi-Star , can we all agree to nickname it "The Enveloped Darkness"?
Hey everyone,
I’ve been reading up on the recent James Webb Space Telescope discovery of the first strong quasi-star candidate (MoM-BH\*-1). The physics behind a "black hole star" are absolutely mind-blowing.
Since deep-space catalog names are always just a jumble of letters, I wanted to propose an unofficial public nickname for it: The Enveloped Darkness (or alternatively, The Darkness Within).
Scientifically, it fits perfectly. A quasi-star isn't powered by normal fusion; it's a massive, blinding envelope of primordial gas wrapped around a rapidly feeding black hole. The brilliant exterior light literally envelopes a core of pure, devouring darkness. Thoughts?
