Eclipse 2024 Totality (360 degree video)

360 camera view of the Totality of the 2024 Eclipse. This covers from about a minute before, and after, the totality. The full darkness came on QUICK! It had been getting steadily, slowly, dimmer for about 25 minutes before and then WHAM! it just went out like that. Also when the totality ended, it was like someone bringing the lights up in a theater at the end of a movie! I even said so at the time (when I am waving my arms at the end).
I wanted to get the 360 view so you could see how the eclipse affected the surroundings. Because of the nature of cameras, the result was still too over-exposed and brighter than reality, so I did some correction on this to bring it back more to what it actually looked like at the time. Also the sun was still too bright even in full totality to see the disk, so I added a back disk to approximate how that looked. It's pretty close, but still doesn't convey the incredible way it all looked with your eyes. The disk was DEAD BLACK, and the sky was deep indigo, and the sun flaring around the edges showed streamers and shifting gaps. It was truly awe-inspiring.
