This sequence was constructed from frames shot on 35mm film
(1/250 sec. on Fuji Velvia 100 slide film). These are
telescopic shots taken through a Borg 4" refractor
with a 2x teleconverter (1280mm focal length). Partial phase shots were taken
about once every 4 minutes.
Notice that towards the end of the sequence, the sun becomes
redder and slightly flattened. This due to the fact that
by the end of the eclipse it was close to sunset. The sequence in the photo at right has been rotated to orient the flattened sun to the plane of the horizon, as it appears when the sun is setting.
