Total solar eclipse at Mareeba near Cairns

Rare video footage and photographs



They were taken from beside the highway between Mareeba and Emerald Creek.

Please also ensure you see the videos of how dark the surrounding became during eclipse. Many people do not take much note of this and little footage of this is available. See more information and the links on the bottom. I also have another video of the eclipse itself.

We are seeking people's video footage and possibly still shots from elevated locations where the footage shows how the eclipse darkened the landscape and how the contrast in light varied and changed. I am wondering if the shadow of the moon was seen tracking across the landscape from an elevated area or from a balloon. Footage in areas near the edge of the path of totality would also be valuable, because most interested people would not see this, as they would be near the centre of the path of totality. At lookouts near the edge of the path, the contrast in light in different areas should be more noticeable. People could upload the footage on to Youtube and send me a link to it.

Please also share any records during the eclipse of light intensity and weather conditions including temperature and barometric pressure. Also, which street lights turn on, and what stars or planets become visible?

Videos

Please see the videos of how the light changes across the sky and landscape during the eclipse. They also include the eclipse itself.


Part 1 shows the last couple of minutes before totality and the beginning of totality. I left some parts in that are not panned well so there would be no significant parts edited out so you see the action in real time.

Part 2 is filmed soon after part 1 and just after a small break where I used the camera to take some still shots of totality. Non significant parts are edited out so you see it in real time.

I have also uploaded a video of the eclipse during totality. It also includes the partial phases just before and after totality. Some parts were edited out. The camera did not have a tracking system. Therefore the sun moved towards the edge of the frame. I am not sure what is causing the dilations just as totality ends. Perhaps it is some distortion. You could match the audio to the two above videos to see what the percentage of the sun is covered when the light is at a cetain level

My friend who was with me also uploaded a video at
