Partial Solar Eclipse – Collage and 130 frame animation.

Hello,

Well, despite the intermittent clouds in Brisbane and after some lengthy processing, I was finally relieved to see that I had 130 frames covering the partial solar eclipse of 7th February 2008. I recorded event from 2:18pm to 3:36pm AEST, losing several frames within the sequence to clouds.

Here is a collage of some of the individual frames, and an animated gif of the 130 frames from start to finish. The end frames are a little washed out due to shooting through light cloud.

Vixen 102mm F9 refractor, Canon 40D DSLR.
Exposures ranged from 1/1000 to 1/30 sec, depending on the cloud cover. ISO 400.

Cheers

Dennis
