2024 Eclipse Plan?

[SteveHookEm]

Is there a plan for the upcoming eclipse that will get before, during, totality, and exiting shots? I’d like the d850 to bracket three images for each shot taken.

can this be done?

No. capture plans will vary depending on your imaging site location and your equipment. Your plan would potentially be different from the person next to you. Eclipse imagers typically create and rehearse their capture plan in the weeks leading up to the eclipse.

BYE does not support bracketing. Neither does the Nikon SDK expose bracketing functionality to 3rd party software developers. You would have to manually incorporate that into your capture plan.

Oh, and don't forget to put in a fresh battery just before you want to start imaging. You will also need to allow time to remove and replace the telescope's solar filter before and after totality.
