Originally posted by photoptimist For the 2017 eclipse in the US, I had 4 bodies, 7 lenses, 4 tripods, and a telescope. But then my wife and I also did the trip in a largish cargo van with a queen size air mattress so we could camp/sleep anywhere. The one thing I did not get a chance to try was astrotracer for telephoto HDR of the corona. Although the sun moves at a different speed than the stars, the difference is so small that it should provide a decent tracking.
My wife and I also traveled via van for the 2017 eclipse. It's a full conversion including fridge, stove, toilet so we can camp anywhere. We visited family in the center of the country (Omaha, NE made it easy to shift east or west for eclipse weather), went to Wyoming for the actual eclipse, spent a week camping in the Black Hills of South Dakota, then visited other family on the way back home.
I wouldn't attempt the astrotracer for corona; corona should use bracketing and I couldn't find a way to simultaneously use bracketing + remote + astrotracer. My mechanical tracking mount (iOptron Skytracker) worked well:
