Game saver!
I did not practice enough for the eclipse in Cleveland. Yesterday I found out how hard it was to use a 1000mm lens (500mm with doubler) on a normal ball mount. It was a struggle to keep the sun centered and I had to apply pressure on the set point to do it. I could not let go. The sun pictures are bright enough, but that would not work at totality to get the corona.

Got this in 1 day and it is perfect. Sturdy enough for my setup and easy to use both free movement and fine-tuning modes. Found the sun at 600mm, centered it, zoomed to 1000mm, and it was perfect. Moving as it goes across the sky will be easy as well.

I will use remote shoot with my iPad for stability during totality. Fine without it with full sun, but not taking any chances during my 3.5 minute window (assuming clouds don’t take some of that).
