Description
Rather than uploading individually. (Unless otherwise requested) Here are my Eclipse 2017 photos. I drove to the Parkway near Brevard, NC. About an hour from my house. It wasn't complete totality. But still a rather unique experience. Never photographing an eclipse before I was only going on intuition. I used a 135mm Carl Zeiss Sonnar lens with a ND filter. And a monolithic 1600mm solidΒ catadioptric mirror lens. (About all it's good for other than a really heavy paperweight.)I panicked when the clouds came in. But in the end they just made it better.

Freaky! And amazing as well!
Just out of interest, is the bit with the crescent moon appearing in a mirrored fashion, something to do with the cameraβs lens?

I have no freaking clue man. It seemed to pop up as an aberrational artifact, the same way as a normal lens flair would. But your right. It mirrors the actual eclipse. So I don't know. It happened on both lenses at all apertures I tried it with

I know it's not really the pictures of the eclipse itself you were aiming to take, but in my humble, little opinion, it seems to add a pretty, mysterious, other worldly feel to it. Something familiar, yet different. Makes it a lot more unique than most other people's pictures of the eclipse I've seen, that's for sure.

I took a few images of the eclipse (only 78% totality) - and I got the same artifact. Since a normal lens flair is round, I am fairly certain that the crescent-like artifact is also a lens flare. The only reason it is crescent-shaped is because of the eclipse -- much like the "pinhole camera" shadow phenomenon that was seen all across America during the eclipse.
