Solar Eclipse Progression

I created this to use as desktop background and thought others might enjoy it. Definitely one of the most incredible natural wonders I've experienced.

Pretty cool. Were those all original shots or just up to the eclipse and then the rest rotated? Either way it is very nice.

Thanks Nik, Karz, and Bear!

Correct: the second half are just rotated... Unfortunately, our camp was a couple hours drive away over some rough roads, so we couldn't stay for the seperation.

I don't think they're visible here, but in larger versions there are some sun spots which magically rotate 180 degrees after totality.

nice zyzygy- no sensor damage I hope? did you use neutral density filters?

Nothing fried, I actually bought a solar filter specifically for this. Unless you point it at something really bright, it looks completely black. It's kind of fun even when there isn't an eclipse.

Pre-digital days though (Canon EOS Elan)... so no chance of sensor damage!
