The most beautiful part of an eclipse is the shower of pin-hole camera images cast on the ground through the trees. This was all recorded between 10:35am and Noon on October 14, 2023 from Texas. We were not in the line of totality, but we still got an impressive 85% view.

Nice work, John. Great music, and the rippling of the leaves in the stiff wind was a real bonus. You probably noticed a myriad of photos on e-Group, both with and without telescopes. It was a wonderful, very blue sky here in Texas. I had setup a small booth in the front yard with a colander, and oak tree providing a very low tech experience. Several of the neighbors came by, some stayed, met a few new folks; it was great! And then it was off to Dinosaur Valley SP. No Moon, great temperatures, inquisitive crowd, very little clouds.

Thanks, John. I was surrounded by a couple of large trees throwing those images down. It was mesmerizing. It was a fantastic day for an eclipse. I hadn't thought about the colander idea - I would've grabbed ours! We had so many events on October 14th. It was the busiest day of the year. I'm going to try to make it to the meeting this week.

Thanks! The music is one of the more slow tunes that come with my video editing software.

@@reflactorI never even thought to look for that. I had 2 scopes pointing up. One for my camera and one for me to enjoy the view.I was even shooting between three trees. Never thought to even look. Great video, thank you for sharing.
