1998
TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE



TIME-LAPSE SEQUENCE


NOTE: QuickTime Plug-in required



36-frame Time-Lapse Sequence, 14mm rectilinear Ultra-Wide-Angle







Click for TIME-LAPSE sequence 		36-frame Time-Lapse-Sequence, 14mm rectilinear Ultra-Wide-Angle
illustrates incoming umbra before 2nd contact, & departing umbra near 3rd contact
NOTES:
- the umbral "edges" are detectable, but diffuse
- Venus is visible shortly before 2nd contact, throughout TOTALITY
- the brightening SW sky near 3rd contact (end of totality)


Click for TIME-LAPSE sequence 		18-frame Time-Lapse-Sequence, Corona Camera #2 [ 2nd contact ]
illustrates Bailey's-Beads & Diamond-Ring @2nd contact
NOTES:
- the "bottle-like" prominence on the NE limb
- the isolated beads
- the ring of beads along the arcs (you can barely perceive "humps"): this is due to the LONG exposure used.


Click for TIME-LAPSE sequence 		20-frame Time-Lapse-Sequence, 7.5mm fisheye lens
illustrates incoming/exiting shadow & varying sky-darkness @totality
NOTES:
- WATCH the W-SW horizon (upper right of frame), the azimuth of the approaching shadow:
it will be DARK @beginning of totality, and LIGHTEN @end of totality (the shadow exits)
