  • Okay, well, I've got a little refracting telescope.

  • This thing here, it feels a little bit little against on a 0.2 meter telescope there.

  • But it's fine.

  • Way worst.

  • It'll be a pretty short, but the best We might get a hint of green flash, basically, if you if the light from the sun comes through the atmosphere, it gets dispersed and you end up with what's got a green rim on a red rim.

  • The bottom half's got a red room on it.

  • Top half's got a green room on it.

  • If you look at the sun in high magnification, you can see it's really thin line of green around it.

  • Now when the sun gets really, really low down and it's like I have to go through a really thick layer of atmosphere, then sometimes that green detaches from the sun itself, and it can be hanging there.

  • Just in the last minutes, the sun's gone down below the horizon.

  • That's what's called the green flash.

  • What I've done now is I've just pointed that directly up moon, which is about the most awkward position it could possibly be in the sky on I pre focused this at infinity on the moon.

  • So when the sun goes really load out on safe for me to turn the camera around, Look at it.

  • He should be focused properly, But I will stress I'm not gonna look through the viewfinder.

  • I'm gonna look on the back of the screen.

  • So if everything goes wrong because he has very clear up here, then it's the camera that gets it for me.

  • It's not long now.

  • Battery looking for batteries filled.

  • Still quite a bright sun there.

  • Rights beginning to go down below the horizon now, which means that the sun's light will beginning.

  • Horrible.

  • It doesn't look like a round ball.

  • That's because the atmosphere is distorting the shape of the sun.

  • If you can see that, what with the camera?

  • The top of the sun has detached.

  • Why would he go green?

  • Yes, Yes.

  • Wow, that was astonishing.

  • Another difficulty is that explosion was rolled, but it doesn't come out.

  • Has agreed it may ever saturate.

  • Whoa!

  • Yes, You got it.

  • You got it, baby.

  • You're going to get closer for you there.

  • That's just that's just the most beautiful thing.

  • Yeah, I'm very, very pleased with that.

Okay, well, I've got a little refracting telescope.
