About this image

This is a composite of two stacks of 4K video frames. The left half is just before second contact (approx 18:28:50) and the right half is just before third contact (approx 18:30:34). The huge prominence at 2nd contact was very easy to see with the naked eye. The prominences around the third contact point are much smaller.
