Solar eclipse '99

Cool neon separator thingie

These are images of the solar eclipse of August 11th, 1999, taken from my home in Rome, Italy.

Camera : Sony Handycam CCD-trV46E
Tape : Sony Hi8 recorded at SP speed
Filter : HTMC UV 390 O-Haze Absorber (706 M 37)
Shields : 2x 3mm welding-helmet type shields (Protane 10 90 1 DIN 0196 CE?)
Zoom level : 18x optical zoom, cropped
Video capture board : Pinnacle Systems Studio DC-10plus

The approximate times of the images are:
11:10 - 11:22 - 11:30
11:40 - 11:50 - 12:00 - 12:10?
12:20 - 12:30 - 12:35
12:40 - 12:43 - 12:47
12:50 - 12:55 - 13:00
13:10 - 13:20 - 13:30
13:40 - 13:50 - 14:00
14:10

All times are daylight CET with each shot about 3 seconds long.
One of the images was accidentally skipped during the capturing from the video. I suspect it is the one at 12:10, but I'm not sure, so the times might be wrong. The images aren't all aligned angularly since I did not have a proper tripod at my disposal and I don't have the time or patience to rotate them all correctly.
