Solar eclipse dilemma
Lens: Soligor 75-260 Camera: K5IIs 
Posted By: Vasyl, 08-22-2017, 09:25 PM

Guys, any suggestion what that could be - dust, flare or something else. I did a timelapse during the eclipse with 10sec interval, such "spot" is only on this shot.
Now it is your headache :-).
Thank you

That's a dust on the sensor. If the dust is still on your sensor (if it hasn't moved or been knocked off) It is possible to take a shot of the dust only so you digitally subtract it out of your photo.
Take the camera and same lens and set the settings the same as in the photo. Particularly important is that the F stop and the focus (infinity) are the same. Now take a photo of the blue sky with no clouds or of a featureless cloudy sky. You now have a photo of the dust. You can now white balance it, and use your favorite software to subtract it out of your image.
