Our intention is to have used this opportunity<br>as a trial run for the eclipse in 2017, which features 1.5 hours<br>of totality across the whole width of the continental US. Conceived<br>first and foremost as an education and public outreach activity,<br>the plan is to assimilate as much eclipse photography as possible,<br>and to create movie representations of coronal evolution in time.<br>The movie(s) will cover all ranges of expertise, and at the basic<br>smartphone or hand-held digital camera level, we expect to have<br>obtained a huge number of images in the case of good weather<br>conditions. The capability of modern digital technology to handle<br>such a data flow is new, and the basic purpose of this and the 2017<br>Megamove observations is to exploit this capability to facilitate<br>outreach and public education. The movie in 2017, especially, may<br>also have important science impact because of the uniqueness of the<br>corona as seen under eclipse conditions.<br><br>In this presentation we will describe our smartphone application<br>development (see the "Transit of Venus" app for a role model here).<br>We will also summarize the data acquisition via both it and more<br>normal Web interfaces. Although for the Coral Sea event we don't<br>expect to have a movie product by the time of the AGU, for the 2017<br>event we do intend to assemble the heterogenous data into a beautiful<br>movie within a short space of time after the eclipse. The movie(s)<br>would have relatively low resolution but would extend to the base<br>of the corona. We encourage participation in the 2012 observations,<br>noting that no total eclipse, prior to 2017, will occur in a region<br>with good infrastructure for extended observations.<br><br>JMP's eclipse work about the eclipses of 2012 is supported by NSF<br>grant AGS-1047726<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>EMP2012 mailing list<br><a href="mailto:EMP2012@mailman.ucar.edu">EMP2012@mailman.ucar.edu</a><br>http://mailman.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/emp2012<br></div></div><br></div></body></html>
