Settings for Solar Eclipse.

[axle01]

Hey guys i am heading to Cairns to shoot the Solar Eclipse and want to ask what settings i should use.
I have a Nikon D3s with a 300f2.8 lens and a 2x TC and Thousand Oaks solar filter.
I intend to set the camera to 1.5 crop mode and set it to shoot Jpeg on the no 1 card and Raw on the 2nd card.
ISO at 200
I am going to bracket it with 5 shots, 2 under 1 even and 2 over.

Question,,,, i am unsure what white balance to use.

Any help would be appreciated.

It would be worth heading to the Iceinspace astro site www.iceinspace.com.au , you'll find lots of info there.

If your shooting RAW , Leave it on AWB and adjust later in PP if you need to

White Balance would depend on the conditions on the day. Cloudy, sunny etc. There is not a setting we could tell you that would be accurate all of the time. So agree with the above, use auto while balance.
