About this image

My corona polarimetric imaging camera mentioned here was taking 5 frames per second throughout the eclipse. I've stacked these in groups of 100 (i.e. 20s) and extracted the luminance data. The telescope was being tracked at the solar rate and this animation clearly shows the motion of the Moon relative to the stationary solar corona.
