A helicopter flew in front of the solar eclipse seconds past the peak of the event, while I was shooting from the north end of Central Park's Great Lawn, in Manhattan. The exact time was 15:26:41 EDT. I was using Snapbridge to activate the shutter, so that's timed to my iPhone's clock.

Nikon Z8, 200mm-500mm f/5.6 (F-mount lens), Manfrotto tripod.

I shot raw (NEF), imported to Adobe Lightroom, cropped my image to 4x5, and did basic exposure and contrast adjustments, including using the Dehaze slider a bit. I also clicked the AI Noise Reduction filter (which didn't do much). I have the raw file, if that's an issue. The color is AWB in camera and shot through DayStar white light Universal solar filter from B&H.
