This sequence was taken by placing a point and shoot camera on the rail
overlooking the deck, and having it shoot a picture every 20 seconds around
totality.
You can see how sudden totality is. Just before it starts, the light is
still strong, and the shadows become very sharp. The light is ethereal.
Then suddenly darkness. Sadly, just 2 minutes later it's over. In this shot
you can see the shadow of the moon receding aft from the ship just after
totality.
