Details:
Ah, the final photo is finished! This is the same composite from an earlier post with exposure correction to expose core detail, and render a black background for the lead ins and outs. For photo details please see my earlier post. The Great American Eclipse was indeed great! Mars is to the left of the Sun, Mercury to the right. (just inside second crescent in)

Great image! But I dont see how that can possibly be Mars. It is in FRONT of the black disk of the moon, meaning that dot is between the moon and your camera, so NOT mercury. UNLESS: your composite cut out and superimposed ONLY the bright pixels that are from the sun, and the black parts are from the main large background corona image?

Thank you for the compliment! You are correct, not Mars nor Mercury! I fell prey to tech; got lazy and two days before eclipse dialed up 8-21 on my app and held to sky. It showed those relative positions and I went with it. Sadly, I had forgot to zoom in! When I did, after your comment was left, I realized the field of view was not large enough to possibly have caught them, not to mention their position changed as I zoomed in also. So the bright star on the left is Regulus, star on right inside second crescent is unknown.(To me)They are stars and not lens spots. The photo is a composite of 6 corona shots stacked, then 12 different crescent photos painstakingly masked into the first composite. Thanks again, Jeff
