Time Lapse of Lunar Eclipse

Posted by michael on from the shadows-linger dept.

MufasaZX writes "Start with a relatively rare occurrence, the complete lunar eclipse from last Wednesday. Next add the amazingly rare, a perfectly clear fog free night in San Francisco, as viewed from the cliffs overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. Then I set up my trusty Sony MiniDV camcorder and wide angle lens on a tripod and proceeded to freeze my butt off for 2 hours. Dump the video into Premier, accelerate it 200x to just 37 seconds, and the resulting video is IMHO simply stunning. Until my web server gets crushed you can download it here, but after that please use your Gnutella client of choice and search for LunarEclipse-10-2004.wmv."

    You know, this is getting really annoying. We have the technology available to prevent slashdotting sites yet the editors insist on not using it.

    Then again, neither coral nor mirrordot has the movie, so maybe the editors know what they are doing!

      LunarEclipse.mp4 can now be downloaded (2.5Mb). Original WMV converted to Apple Quicktime MP4 format via AVI. Academic hosted server, so bandwidth should be okay. Will have to remove tomorrow (Monday 1st Nov, 1600GMT).

    Downloaded it from gnutella and sharing. Video is pretty lame. A small dot is just fading in and that's about it.

    The BitTorrent protocol was specifically *designed* for the rapid, near-simultaneous distribution of popular files to a large number of users -- who are then able to share them via other methods successfully avoiding the usual /. effect.
    Surely that makes sense regardless of the efforts of some university networks and ISPs to prevent the use of torrents?
