This is footage I took from southeast Michigan during the April 8, 2024 eclipse. I moved the camera manually and had to keyframe its movement frame-by-frame to keep it centered, and I actually had to do this process twice: once as a rough cut and again to fine-tune. It's now relatively smooth.
Then I created moon and sun positional markers to illustrate the outline of both bodies. A the moment of the eclipse, the sun's angular diameter was 0.53 degrees, and the moon's angular diameter was 0.56 degrees. These numbers vary somewhat, which is why sometimes we have a total eclipse (as we did in North America in 2017 and 2024), while other times we have annular eclipses, in which the moon's angular diameter is smaller than that of the sun.
Footage was shot with a Canon Rebel EOS SL2 and processed with Shotcut using positional keyframes. Enjoy!
