Eclipse Capture Script Visualizer

An interactive timeline view of CaptureEclipse XML scripts. Upload your own script, pick an observation site (or fetch precise contact times from the USNO API), and see every photo plotted on a totality timeline with exposure-duration-scaled widths.

This is just a way to visualize scripts generated with Robert J. Hawley's Capture Eclipse software, to help optimize script editing. Credit goes back to Robert and Fred Espenak who have done the hard work implementing into software fairly complex solar eclipse timing calculations.

X-axis is absolute UT, anchored by the C2 time from the USNO API. Photo positions = reference time + script eventTimeOffset.
