I'm confused. Is the image inverted? I'm over in Chicago & that looks upside down from what I saw. Some vids on here from the Southern hemisphere resemble this view. Thanks.
Not fast forwarded, but it is a summary of several different video clips I took over the entire time leading up to the full eclipse. So you get to see the high points of the process in just a few minutes.
This is awesome, thank you for uploading it for us. =) Question, can I show this to my Astronomy class friends on Facebook (with credit, of course)? We all forgot about the eclipse so we missed it. =( We're here in Ohio too, so I thought it would be cool to show them your vid. I go to school in Bowling Green.
It was a digital Nikon Coolpix (an older model, about 2 years old) and an old 90MM Celestron refractor telescope. The camera has both photo and video capabilities.
I just held the camera up to the eyepiece of the telescope lens. The lens eyepiece of the telescope is just about the same size as the camera lens. I can view whta I'm filming on the screen on the camera.
Wow! Great video. I will try the telescope/camera method

Not a pro, zebrastriper1. Just an amateur with a small digital camera and a telescope!

paulgrem, yes the image is inverted because of the refractor telescope, which shows all images upside down.
