To try and wait for the frame cache to clear, I calculate and add a delay between steps equivalent to 5 frames at the current exposure.
I also added a new feature.. Partial Eclipse Count.
- The duration of the partial phase of the eclipse is different (for most people) comparing pre and post totality partial phases.
- By setting the Partial Eclipse Count, the sequence generator will now calculate the total duration of each partial phases, divide that by the count, and set the interval for each partial phase based on that value.
- This should allow those who wish to create an eclipse mosaic with equal phase state from pre and post totality to achieve that look easier.
To be precise, the collections would be:
- Partial Phase Collection Plan
- 1 minute prior to C1
- 2 minutes past C1
- Every X seconds between ( C1 + 2 min ) and ( C2 - Bailys Bead's Interval seconds ), such that the 'Partial Eclipse Count' frames are evenly spaced.
- Baily's Beads Collection Plan
- Every 1 second between ( C2 - Baily's Beads Interval seconds ) and C2
- Totality Collection Plan
- Up to every 1 second between C2 and C3
- Baily's Beads Collection Plan
- Every 1 second between C3 and ( C3 + Baily's Beads Interval seconds )
- Partial Phase Collection Plan
- Every X seconds between ( C3 + Bailys Bead's Interval seconds ) and ( C4 - 2min ), such that the 'Partial Eclipse Count' frames are evenly spaced.
- 2 minutes prior to C4
- 1 minute after C4
Please keep the inquiries and recommendations coming!
