Well, this is what a 98.3% eclipse looks like.

Nikon D850, Nikon AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 VR w/2x Nikon teleconverter, and a solar filter for a telescope jammed down into the hood with some baffling around it(padding from a long-departed cheap camera bag). This was handheld and one of a few hundred photos I took yesterday-my arms were awfully sore and regretted my decision to not take my tripod to work...

The timing of a thick layer of clouds rolling into the Philly area yesterday - after it was totally clear up to 10 minutes before the eclipse starts - was...to put it mildly, a swift kick to the head.

After the 3:23pm peak of around 90% eclipsed, the sun went back behind a blanket of dark clouds again. Glad I grabbed what I grabbed.

Lovely stacking job!! Was this via your camera“fixed” on tripod and you simply stacked, or it’s a composite with sun/moon and you placed them apart as shown? What’s the time gap between images?

I’ve done this for lunar eclipse back in 2015, fixed on tripod and just stacked.
In my memory slightly over 3min 30 sec for each image.
