2024 Solar Eclipse
We were in Texas to do some ministry work with a Christian organization during the month prior to the eclipse. Knowing that the eclipse would occur near the end our project I made plans to stick around in Texas until April 8 to try my hand at shooting a time lapse of the eclipse.
I made an RV campground reservation in Granbury, TX. With months of planning I determined that my Sigma 15-600mm f/5.6-6.1 lens would be the best to mate up to my Canon R5 for the shoot. I ordered up an Astrpzap Baader Visual Solar filter to mount on my lens. I used a Celestron AVX editorial mount. I used the SET'n'C Ver. 4.18.1.0 Solar Eclipse Timer and Camera Controller software to control my camera. I had it set to take one shot per minute during the pre and post totality portions of the eclipse. During totality I had it set to take a 9 shot bracketed set as rapidly as possible. I edited this video using VAGAS Pro 21. The RAW images from my R5 were preprocessed in Adobe Camera RAW into TIF format for importing into VAGAS
One of the reasons I choose Granbury, TX was because a childhood friend lived there whom I hadn't seen in 35+ years. On Sunday we had an opportunity to attend Triple Cross Cowboy Church with them. During the service the worship team sang "How Great Thou Art" in recognition of the up coming eclipse. I recorded their performance and have used it as background music for this video. For me this song reminds me of what an awesome Creator God, Jesus Christ, we serve. On Monday during the eclipse this song was playing in my mind as I watched the eclipse occur.
