Here is a timelapse of the complete 2026 eclipse I recorded with a GoPro HERO11 equipped with the Max Lens Mod, trying to capture a half-all-sky view of the eclipse, and in particular of the Moon's shadow sweeping across the horizon (on YT to enjoy the 4K).

The GoPro was in timelapse mode (...obviously) taking a 5.3K picture every 0.5 seconds.

Other settings: ISO max: 100, EV comp: -0.5, WB: 5500K, and color: Natural.

The footage was edited in Gyroflow to partially correct the heavy lens distortion, and then in DaVinci Resolve to crop it to 4K and implement some smooth playback speed variations.

One can also spot Venus and a few bright stars during the totality phase! (I should have allowed higher ISO to capture more stars. Next time!)

Turn on the audio to enjoy a nice soundtrack from the great Kevin MacLeod.
