A little animation of totality

[lukebl]

A thread on another forum discussed the apparent vigorous activity of prominences during the eclipse, and that during the 2 minutes of totality they seemed to show obvious movement and become more prominent. This would clearly demonstrate phenomenal movement in a very short time.

However, this little video of my own images shows that this was simply due to them becoming more uncovered as the larger moon's disc passed over the Sun. They didn't change. Just the amount of them that you could see. Canon 700d, Canon 70-300mm zoom at 300mm, 1/1000 sec, f/8, ISO200.

Quite pleased with the result.

Great animation, Luke. I also noticed the distinct pink coloration of the prominences at totality; it was a beautiful sight to behold!
