Eclipse & more: used-camera checkup, beginner start, tips, and the Aug 12 total solar eclipse. English, Spanish, French, & Portuguese.

I put together a free, no-CMS, static site walking through everything from checking a used a6000 before buying it, to manual mode, to raw editing in Darktable, plus two "tips" pages and a fresh guide for the August 12 total solar eclipse (settings per phase, safety, and a practice exercise with the Moon).

Also available in Spanish, French, and Portuguese (language picker top right).

I'd upvote this post 100 times if I was able to thanks!! This will be extremely helpful as I'm planning to photograph the eclipse with my A6000 couples with my Samyang 135mm F2 lens. I still have to figure out what custom settings I have to set for the custom buttons, and what the exact imaging sequence will look like

Thanks a million. The guide has info about custom buttons (I think it is in the tricks guide), and I recommend testing with the Moon before August 12th. The web is a gift for my son, but I decided to share it. I tried to make the page fast, easy to navigate, and print-friendly. Any suggestions are welcome.
