Annular eclipse expedition animation

I've been working on a project to document our family's expedition to witness the annular eclipse in the Northern Territory in May. Here is the result of 18 timelapse sequences, plus a bunch of photo to add a bit of flavour of the trip. http://youtu.be/Wm3CbksdT44

I won't say the expedition was the trip of a lifetime, but it is probably the best photo-documented one we've done, and it certainly was epic.

Hope you enjoy.

Hi Tony,

I loved it and can only imagine how enjoyable the family trip was. 2 minutes of ecstasy ???? I assume that was the ellipse. We went to the Caravan and Camping Show yesterday which cost us $18 000 to upgrade from our Jayco Flamingo to an Expanda which we will use to do outback trips which we love and do regularly. The good thing is it has extra room so I will be able to get the scope gear in and away we go. A great family holiday. Well done and beautiful images of the eclipse.

What else could it have been, Mark?

Thanks David, it was indeed an epic adventure. I just have to chase up some copyright free music and repost the video when I have a chance.
