I shot a few white filter shots of the new sunspot today testing and prepping for August.
I still haven't decided exactly what setup I plan to use but this is what I shot the Annular eclipse in 2012 with and it worked very well.
Canon 7D Mark II instead of my older Canon 7D.
Canon 300mm L Prime with Canon 1.4 teleconverter.
Homemade 77mm Baader solar film filter.
Trimmed for detail

James looks like a good setup with enough space to capture the corona at totality. I have a 60D and find the tilt screen very good this type of shooting.

Thanks Derek,
This is actually cropped by about 20% so I am sure this would give me enough room.
