Eclipse (wide angle and sequence) from Brisbane

[middy]

Finally got around to finishing processing my effort at the eclipse. I just had the camera mounted on a fixed tripod and took a photo every 10 minutes between 7:00pm and 10:25pm.

Exposures ranged from 1/1000 sec up to 6 secs at totality. In Brisbane there was a lot of hazy cloud for the first half of the eclipse but it cleared up great for the second half of the show.

The first image is the wide angle view stacked in Registax. The orange glowing tree in the foreground is illuminated by a nearby streetlight.

The second image is the sequence of all 21 images arranged in Photoshop.

Nice work Andrew - a very pleasing time line of this grand celestial event. You’re a creative fellow for a highly qualified engineer!

Cheers

Thanks Dennis. Usually you'd be extremely hard pressed to find a creative/arty bone in my body, but I do occasionally have a surge of inspiration.

Thanks Mike. I thought I'd just sit back and relax with the camera on the tripod rather than fight with the telescope (nudging and cursing and cursing and nudging some more. You know how it is with no tracking)
