My Seestar Eclipse Timelapse Adventure
Me photographing the eclipse on August 12, 2026. Photo courtesy of SopronMédia. The plan for the August 12 partial solar eclipse (at least in Hungary it was only partial :/) was pretty straightforward. Seestar S30 Pro at the Sun, enable RAW recording, let Center Target do its best, start the timelapse and run far enough away that I couldn’t touch anything. I wanted something around 25–30 seconds long in the end, so I used a 2-second interval. I had tested Center Target earlier that day as well, it worked out of the box. With Center Target disabled, the Sun slowly drifted across the frame. Not terribly fast, but definitely fast enough that I didn’t trust it to stay where I wanted for the whole event. So Center Target stayed on. Good idea. Sort of, at least. :D ...
