Comment on Shooting the Solar Eclipse from 4205 meters by Eric Jeschke

It’s a pretty heft amount of weight sitting on that tripod! With proper balancing it doesn’t take that much energy to move the mount. But it pays to have plenty of power available!

It is a typical scientist or engineer’s quick fix!

Now, that’s one heck of a telephoto lens, Eric! Must have a heck of a servo in it to need a car battery!

Well, I suppose that there are ways around things without having to fix the speedometer! LOL

Good old American ingenuity — now if that tachometer will just keep working.

Steve,
You’re welcome! (I guess). Not sure how you will feel later about acquiring a SPAM habit.
But yes, they are rather tasty little devils…

After reading this post a few days ago I questioned my born and raised Hawaiian neighbor about spam musubi. His eyes lit up and with a big grin his said “Oh yes”. He was over borrowing my ice chest for his class reunion ( a few casinos cater to the islanders) and mentioned they could be had at the downtown California Club. He returned the chest today and brought me a still warm spam musubi. What a great light lunch.
Thank you for turning me onto it and I am now a quest for musubi press so I don’t have to drive downtown for a fix.

Thanks, John. I was pretty surprised myself how nicely it turned out. I wasn’t expecting much, honestly.

Even with the stabilization on, it turned out pretty nice. I just bought a 70-300 Nikkor lens to replace my old, non-stabilized lens – I just hope I can remember to turn mine off anytime I use a tripod.
