Third contact animation

[StephenM (Stephen)]

Hi all,

I took a series of images around third contact, so I decided to put them together as a little animation. Here's the result (2.23 meg file):

Very nice, Stephen! Really shows how much the light dims at totality.

wow... looks within touching distance...

Nice!

Thanks for the comments Laurie, Tony and Hugh!

I might try and add a few frames of the post-totality partial phases when I get a chance.

Cheers,
Stephen

Nice one.

Thanks JJJ!

I had a look back at the capture times for these images, and the animation spans less than 20 sec of real time. The Sun's re-emergence and the associated brightening was very fast!

Cheers,
Stephen
