The Dutch Observatory

I made an animated GIF of the last few seconds prior to totality.  The first thumbnail links to the animation.  It shows the contours of the Moon’s surface as it approaches the Western limb of the Sun.  When I started imaging totality, my laptop froze and I had to resort to a reboot.  During that time my son made some images of totality with his Canon 7D which are shown here. One of them shows totality, the second the diamond ring.   A real great job!  Thanks Hal.
