Photographer’s answer book. A comprehensive resource for photographers who want to shoot an eclipse. Covers pretty much every topic on the event. Why they happen, when they happen, what to expect, and what equipment and settings work. The eBook gives common sense information on how to set up and get the best shot with the equipment you have. Also gives great advice on how to enjoy the event in the moment. Have really enjoyed it.

Excellent info but can be deleted from your device at author’s request. The first edition of this book was very good. Unfortunately Apple deleted the copy I had purchased when the new edition was released. If you want to keep the book long term buy the PDF version directly from the author.
