Patial Solar Eclipse, shot from Degibna, Helston. 1 shot every 40 seconds totalling 220 frames, here animated over 2.5mins equalling roughly 50x actual speed. White light filter on a 200p dobsonian with a Canon 1100d camera. CR2 raw converted in batch with Canon Digital Photo Professional 4 to JPG, animated into an AVI video (3.6GB!!) with Pipp, then converted to a more manageable size in MP4 with Handbrake.
