UMBRAPHILE
a FreeWare Macintosh application designed for solar eclipse aficionados
http://balder.prohosting.com/stouch/UMBRAPHILE.html
UMBRAPHILE serves two purposes. First, you can use UMBRAPHILE to determine
the centerline and local
circumstances of total and annular solar eclipses, local circumstances
for partial solar eclipses, or for the
partial phases of total and annular eclipses.
Second, UMBRAPHILE will allow you to use a MacOS computer to control
a camera through a VERY simple
electro-mechanical interface and have it automatically take photographs
of a solar eclipse for you. No more
wasting those precious seconds of totality fumbling around with camera
equipment.
Sit back, relax, and let UMBRAPHILE do the work for you.
