This sequence is an in-camera Multiple Exposure taken with an interval of 2 minutes 50 seconds. The first image taken is in the bottom left of the image.

Regulus is visible between the second and third sun from the left. I did get one other star in the image, visible above the 5th sun from the left.

The partial phase images were taken with two Breakthrough Photography X4 ND filters. A 10 stop and a 6 stop. The central image was taken with no filters. I made a mistake in setting the exposure for the center image and it came out much brighter than I had wanted. I toned it down using Photoshop.

The camera used was a Nikon D810 with a 300 PF F4.0 and a 1.4x teleconverter. Movement between frames was provided by the Earth's rotation. Slightly Cropped from the right and top to balance the image.

Really nice series!
Not sure how this is a single  in-camera exposure, though, since the eclipse started at 1 o'clock and progressed downward.
Wouldn't the crescents be pointed in the opposite direction?

Great to catch the planet. Don't see 2, though

Very cool, this may be the first photo I've ever seen that uses the in-camera multiple exposure technique on the D800/D810.  I think I'd be tempted to correct the green/magenta diffraction flare on the moon.

This wasn't the first time I used the in-camera multiple exposure to produce an image. It is the first time I used it with auto gain off...

Wow! I would never have been brave enough to do this with an in-camera multiple exposure, even if my camera could. Amazing technique! And a great result.

Nice job on the in camera multiple exposure, great job lining up the frame to catch all the partial phases.
