In this page, you can share with me a three-minutes real-time movie of climax scene in total solar eclipse on Aug 21, 2017 observed at Salem, Oregon.
I released the movie via the YouTube's server. I have added the time codes of local time and remaining times to start and end of the totality,
an error of time has been secured within 0.1 second by correcting with simultaneously recorded time signals broadcasted from the HF (shortwave) radio station of WWV at Colorado.
The customer-oriented HD digital video camera has comparatively narrow recordable gradation;
it's difficult to represent the expressions of corona from inner to outer regions simultaneously.
In the totality, maybe you recognize that the brightness of corona is down temporarily; it's due to the exposure correction in manual mode.
As shown in a previous page, the real corona has an extraordinary wide gradation appreciated with naked eyes.
