Yooooo thanks for making this! I traveled to go see it and explaining what it was like is actually rather difficult. Now I don't have to and the quality is beautiful! Where did you capture it if you don't mind my asking?

This is an animation of every 1/4000" frame I took during/around totality. For most of totality I was looping HDR sequences and had one of these frames roughly every 15 seconds, but around each contact I bursted these short frames to get the beads. The animation lasts for the entirety that my solar filter was off, which was about 13 seconds before/after each contact. I think it’s cool seeing the motion of the moon relative to the sun like this. Since imgur compression is kinda shit, here’s a (slightly) less compressed version on youtube.

Captured on April 8th, 2024 from Sikeston, MO.
