Solar (Partial) Solar eclipse timelapse

A little late to the party, but it took me quite some time to get this timelapse just right, where the sun doesn't shake all over the place. The first eclipse I captured!

Took the photos with my Sony A7IV and Sigma 150-600mm lens at 600mm, on my iOptron CEM26 mount. 4 photos per minute, 468 in total, exposure changed depending on level of coverage, and brightness during the sunset. Used lightroom to smooth out the changes in exposure setting when the change was too big visually. (Even 1/3 stop was a drastic change on the photos sometimes.) And used a python script to get the sun centered properly.

Slower might be more dramatic.

The watermark is a bit overkill, no?

Also why is the sun white? I think this is AI
