Solar Eclipse on Youtube
Be sure to have your system sound turned on when viewing the video!
Notes:
- The "ground" video was left on a fixed exposure setting
for the duration of the entire video sequence
to show how dark it becomes at totality.
- The sun is not visible in the "ground" video field of view. It was very high in the sky (about 70° up).
- The filter on the "solar" video camera is removed
2 minutes into the video.
- The "solar" video is set for autoexposure until just
after totality (~3:10 into the video) when it is set to
a fixed exposure that shows the prominences and innermost part of the corona until after third contact.
- The bright object at the right edge of the screen in the
"ground" video is the monitor screen of the "solar" video camera.
