A quick and dirty eclipse video

[MarkS]

I built this from the jpg files.  Later I intend to create one from the raw files, which will allow me to have smoother transitions between the variations in exposure.

Well done Mark, I am still processing my images which I hope will be an animation.  I didn't stay out for the 2nd half though as I was really tired having helped my son move house over the weekend.

Nice Mark - really look forward to raw version - my only comments would be:

1. Would be great if could have bigger - (I guess file size becomes un-manageable)
2. To my brain the timelapse looks around the wrong way i.e. it is rising as it eclipses - shouldn't this be around the other way - i.e. as eclipse progressed moon got lower in sky...

Very nice though

Interesting points John.  I deliberately didnt want a static moon with shadow passing across it - everyone does that.  So Ithought it would be instructional to see the moon travel through a stationary shadow and it does pass right to left through the earth's shadow.  I thought it aided understanding of what is happening but maybe it doesn't.

Maybe it will be more obvious once I've included the umbral and penumbral circles

Nice one!

I thought Kent was going to be clouded out by the time the eclipse started so I drove up north to be sure I had clear skies.
