Awesome work! Wish I had made the trip from Cleveland! What aperture and shutter speed did you use?
Randy Scherkenbach replied:
Wait until 2024, it will go right over Cleveland. I used a Nikon D7200 and Sigma 150-500mm lens at 450mm. F/8, ISO 6400 and 1/80 second exposure. It is cropped in about 50% on top of the D7200's 50% crop.
