2017 Total Eclipse video

Here's a different view of the 2017 total solar eclipse as captured from the parking lot of our Motel 6 in Rigby, ID. This was taken with a 360Fly4K video camera that produces a round 180° view overhead. The software flattens it out to a "normal" view. You will notice the building on the left is the same building on the right, that's just where the seam was in the 180 view.
Sorry for my language at around 02:10. That was the point I realized I had forgot to sync my laptop running Eclipse Orchestrator to my GPS unit and my laptop clock was off about 15 seconds.

That explains why some people have their backs turned to the eclipse some appear to be looking 90 deg from the eclipse....it looks weird with that distortion, thanks for sharing.

Yeah, the ground and people do look strange, but it's kinda cool to see the sky in 360° if you can wrap your head around the viewing angle.
