Totality as seen through wide angle shots, telephoto, through telescopes. Wide angle views of the moon;s shadow, Mercury, Venus. High dynamic range images. Diamond Ring effect, Baily's beads, sunspots, flares, prominences, chromosphere, corona.... basically everything you could possibly capture in a total solar eclipse!
Shot north of Scottsbluff, Nebraska
The rather random rotation of some of the partial phases is due to the warp stabilizer in Adobe Premiere. It's quite difficult to get the software to behave. The portable tracking mount and temporary tripod weren't terribly stable in the 10-15mph breeze and the LDX55 mount simply isn't very accurate. A lot of work went into stabilizing the images to a reasonable level and that caused a major delay in releasing a finished video.
My other hobby is astronomy and astrophotgraphy. For once we drove 1000's of miles across America's heartland to find the clearest possible skies....kind of strange for me!
