Phil, please post this to SEML!

The pulsating effect at second and third contact is largely due to turbulent seeing, but the interpolation changes the nature of it. I guess you can imagine that 1/10 frames is real so the seeing changes are smoothed out. At the contacts, this is playing back at about 2x real speed so pretty close to the way 'bad seeing' looks I guess.
At several points through the middle of totality you can see the moon makes a big shift due to a much larger exposure gap (up to 9 secs) which has been smoothed out by the frame interpolation. Much faster than real speed through those bits.
Thanks for the tip.. I've posted to SEML..
