This was my view of the eclipse here on the east coast set to my song 'Luna, My Love'.
I stayed away till 7:30 and it totally screwed up my sleep pattern. I was up till 7:30 again this morning! Ack! inch:Thanks! I wanted to watch it, but I couldn't stay awake that late. :lol:
This was my first eclipse EVER. Just never went through the trouble before. Mainly because I was always working a job that required I be there by 6 am. Considering the historic nature of this one falling on the solstice I had to do it this time.Looks much like the one in 2003. I thought about bringing out the 8" dob, but ended up not doing it.
I now wish I had watched it. Spaceweather said repeat of 03 so I figured I wasn't missing anything.This was my first eclipse EVER. Just never went through the trouble before.

You didn't miss anything if you saw the one in '03. I saw both, and the one in '03 was much more rapid. And in my opinion staring at the moon for 5-10 min is alot more comfortable than staring at the moon for however long it lasted this time! It was still really cool, I went out to look every 15-20 min, but definitely not as cool as '03.I now wish I had watched it. Spaceweather said repeat of 03 so I figured I wasn't missing anything.
Wow! I like your composite pic.Nice video! Was it made from stills?
I missed this last one since I was traveling and it was overcast. This is from 2007:
Canon Vixia HF200 - Great camcorder. Shoots full 1080p. I got a refurbished unit for $400.Thanks!
It's hard to keep a tripod perfectly stable for such a long time. Could be the floor, or even just from walking by the rig. What video camera were you using?
