This was my first time to see video documentation on eclipse. It's amazing, the red color (sun slowly eaten by darkness (moon) scare me, then it made me shiver at the eclipse peak. I believe we, as earth creatures, should watch it at least once, even its only a video.

page link
pick TELESCOPE-ONLY below the video

Hints for those who don't have time watching the whole 100 minutes:
-. Jump around
-. 20:42, color suddenly changes from red to pale pink.
Is there any scientific explanation of the sun light, or simply telescope focus made it so?
At 24:47, video looks like jumped and it backs to red. It changes like so, on some other times.
-. 47:36, a bit cloudy there.
-. 56:16, um shiny.
-. 58:50, I think you better see it from here on, I won't put the climax time.
-. the rest.

The time lines is from what I see at winamp.

enjoy~

Special thanks:
1. explo.tv.
2. My housemate for the link.
3. Shan, without her, this topic won't be created.
4. You, for making this topic worthwhile.

OOT note: I know this related to physic, but I want to share it with everybody no matter he/she interested in physic or not, so "Other"'d do better.

What's the different?
