Wide field

A low-resolution camera with a dedicated wide-angle lens was set up to record a ‘whole-sky’ view during the eclipse. The aim of this was to see if we could capture changes in the sky as the eclipse passed over us, and also any planets and/or stars visible during totality. Unfortunately, it seems that the red ‘channel’ in this camera was not working, so all movies and images have a blue/green hue to them

8x normal speed view from just before to just after totality. Look for the change in illumination on the horizon as the end of totality approaches. (Notes: The camera gain was changed just after entering totality. The bright dots either side of the partial eclipse phases are camera artifacts.)
