1984 May 30 Larry A. Stevens

Multiple Frame

Greer, South Carolina

Multiple Frame Exposure

Shot with a Mamiya 645 on a single frame, a Mylar Solar Filter was used to image the Sun during the partial phases, and exposed every 10 minutes. For mid eclipse, the filter was removed. For an annular eclipse this is not usually what you do, the solar filter is usually kept on the lens for this, however I was hoping to get the Baily's Beads. The exposure time should have been reduced significantly more however as it was well overexposed. The Sun was reflected inside the camera lens, and produce images of the Sun, one of which shows Baily's Beads. Check the next image to see an enlargement of that region.
