Versacorp Omnirama (TM) Axial Strut Wide Angle Optical technology.

degrees of vertical coverage. This panorama was made up of 5 separate

The Umbra Approaches Mazatlan, Mexico.
Each panorama is made up of a series of four photos taken with a
Nikon FM camera and a 16 mm f/2.8 fisheye Nikkor lens. The North
photo is repeated at each end. In order to facilitate taking
panoramas in an expeditions manner during the eclipse, Jeffrey R.
Charles designed and fabricated a remote control indexing rotary
camera platform, which was subsequently marketed by Versacorp as
the Versarama (TM). The motirized platform allowed each panorama
to be taken in less than six seconds.
