Eclipse 04-08-2024 - Bailey's Beads and Diamond Ring

UPDATE: It's an APOD!!!

Description:

This is a video recorded during the solar eclipse of April 8th, 2024.
It spans from moments before to moments after the Third Contact of the eclipse.

A dedicated camera (QHY 183C) was used, which allowed for higher frame rate than DSLRs that are typically used for this sort of event, as well as a finer resolution, as this camera has a 2.4-micrometer pixel size and was attached to a telescope with a focal length of 600 mm.

Capture was done from New Boston, Texas, USA

The video was trimmed for the third contact, cropped to highlight the region of the Bailey's beads and diamond ring -- which coincidentally also encompassed the larger prominences -- and stabilized. It was also sped up a little, from ~11 to 15 fps.

There are slight variations in exposure times, as I was alternating between a better visualization of the prominences and the corona when recording.

Summary of equipment used:
Telescope - Skywatcher Evostar 80ED
Camera - QHY 183C
Filter - Optlong L (UV/IR cut) filter
Mount - Celestron NexStar SE

Many thanks to my friends: Lucas Amorim, Arthur Svidzinski, Romualdo Caldas and Marcelo Domingues.
