Eclipse Animation from McAlester, OK, USA 2023

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

Being clouded out at home in Missouri, USA for the Solar Eclipse and not wanting to drive the 900miles to the Center line. I decided to drive to clear skies to record and practice recording for the April 8th, 2024 Total Eclipse. That still was a 440mile one way trip to McAlester, Oklahoma. As a retired Over the Road Truck Driver, that was just about as far as I wanted to travel and still be able to get thru the eclipse before taking a sleep for the return trip home.

Taken with a Samyang 135mm F4 lens with a 533mmPro camera with a UV/IR cut filter. The glass solar filter is from Spectrum Telescopes. SharpCap 4.0

A 5 frame video was captured every minute until the clouds arrived towards the end of the eclipse.

each video was stacked with best 4 of 5 frames and saved as a fitz files
each file was converted to a tiff and an animate gif was created with Photoshop.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
