Annular Solar Eclipse ~ 20 May 2012 ~ New Mexico, USA by Steve Renich

GigaPan; Canon SX110 10x optic...

Near the Centerline on the Continental Divide –

This is a composite adding images taken during the eclipse phases to the original GigaPan. The 7 phase images were taken at full zoom and through a #14 welder's glass; these were also enlarged somewhat for effect. The 3 sunset images were taken at a wider angle with highest speed and f -stop on the Canon SX 110 IS. A fourth sunset picture (moments after sunset) was in the mix however I was unable to outsmart the stitcher to have it included - I tried. I believe we were on Bureau of Land Management land and near Navajo Indian territory.
