A 25cm telescope, a D200, and Earth's shadow

Postby Gordon on Thu Sep 06, 2007 1:07 am

I took almost 3000 images of the eclipse, mostly with the D200, but including a few hundred fisheye lens shots with the D70. I've made a time lapse movie from about 1/15th of the images through the telescope (1030mm @ f/4.1) so far, but will eventually work on the rest to make a nice smooth time lapse.
I've scaled the images to appear as they did to my eye through the telescope.
Here is the result, for those not suffering eclipse overload already ;)

That's pretty cool Gordon. I also like all the comet McNaught photos you have too.

Thanks all ;) I've just added another animation there, 10.5mm fisheye + D70, just short exposures of the moon and telescope and the clouds early on... and me shining my LED torch around ;)
