Quality is decent from the middle of the file.

Several problems more than the clouds:
Static tripod, so I had to move the view a few times along the way, and this changed the angle of the sight…
I was at the workplace, with the gear sett on the balcony, and I would check once in a while for the exposure… explaining the overexposures when the clouds thinned.
I used an underexposed diapositive as a solar filter, and it moved along the way, explaining the image doubling in the end.

I had to manually tune the brightness and curve of each frame (158) to balance the animation.
I had to manually align most of the images before making the animation…


EOS 40D, static tripod, programmable remote control TC-80N3 to shoot every minute then 30 seconds.
Zeiss 135mm F3.5 at F22
Exposure up to 1/5000th when the sun was almost out of the clouds.
