The visual size of the Sun during a day

Links to observations at 8am(16:57)/10am(23:14)/12 noon(30:50)/2pm(36:02)/4pm(41:02)/5pm(45:30). This is the raw video footage of observations of the Sun at two hours interval from sunrise to sunset. To remove glare I used a solar filter (Baader AstroSolar Safety Film). The camera used is a Canon Powershot SX60 HS and at the different times shown below I zoomed to the maximum of 65x optical zoom without any digital zoom. Here is an image with side by side comparisons Notice the vertical distortion at sunrise/sunset because of the atmosphere. 8 am 16:57 10 am 23:14 12 noon 30:50 2 pm 36:02 4 pm 41:02 5 pm 45:30 If you want to use any of this footage in your own video, please provide a link to this video.
