Both partial and total phase of the eclipse we have recorded by the camcorder Sony CCD PRV59E Hi 8 mounted on the tripod. During the partial phase the camera was directed downward to a convex mirror and served as an all-sky camera. During the total phase the sun was taken directly.

The record was digitalized via ATI Rage 128 PC graphic card. The tripod was relatively stable but anyhow some trembling of the picture occurred. The camera operating staff probably caused it. Martin developed special software centering individual snaps and so part of the record could be recovered. You can see 80 seconds of the total phase record if you click on the picture below (mpeg, 25 MB).
