Two eclipses, two different cameras and two different styles, 7 years apart. Neither shot is better than the other in my opinion although I like the diffraction spikes in the earlier shot. The 2009 shot was stopped down to f14 on my Nikon D750 at 1/180 of a second with my ISO at 2000. I took that shot at 70mm on my 70-200. I took some close up shots as well. In any case, you get a lot of spikes with the shutter blades on the older cameras creating edges where light leaks to create the starburst. On the modern Z9, it is an electronic shutter so you don't get those spikes as much anymore as there are no elements between the lens and the chip. This is the case even though I am at a similar f -stop at f11 at 1/1000 of a second at ISO 8000. Even with the much faster ISO, the modern Z9 is a much cleaner file. This time out I shot some at 70mm but this one was with my 100-400mm with a 2x converter so at 800mm in this case. I ran both through a denoise filter to clean the file of some unwanted noise.
So, there you have it. Two eclipses at the same location. Both successful and lots of fun with friends and family.
