Actual telescope recording of the May 20 eclipse. The source states approximately double-speed playback; this excerpt keeps that speed. The Moon moves subtly relative to the solar rim. The globe marker is the eclipse reference point in the northern Pacific, not the California camera position. Excerpt 6–30 seconds, omitting the opening title overlay and resizing to 640×360, encoded as H.264 without audio. Poster extracted from source second 11. No additional speed change or synthetic motion.
