F. Barrett: "This picture is one of 13 that
I took from the side of my house near Maberly, Ontario, Canada.
I used an Orion filter on a Celestron 8" SCT with an OM-1
camera at prime focus and an exposure setting of 1/500. The rest
of the series do not have a tree blocking the Sun! What a great
Christmas present!" |

the Sun"
starting from the western limb. See

B Kramer: "[We used] a telescope-based projection
system plus solar glasses indoors to escape the cold weather.
The picture shows our youngest daughter, Melissa, and our dog,
Astro. He wore the glasses, but was not impressed by the partial
eclipse." |

R. Stankiewicz: "This sequence covers the
majority of the eclipse. All the shots were taken though my Meade
ETX 90 telescope, with a solar filter on the front and my old
Canon Ftb SLR camera (loaded with 200 ASA print film) attached
to the back. Note the sunspots -- they really added to the whole
event for me!" |

S. Goodfellow: "What a wonderful event!
[I used] a hand held Fujifilm DX-9 digital camera pointing through
a welders filter. By chance, I had some wonderful icicles hanging
from my roof -- they were illuminated by the Sun and they show
up through the dark filter." |

capturing an eclipse image, but I was rewarded with several nice
ones. I used a new 8" Meade LX-200 SCT at prime focus, and
shot through Baader Solar Film through my flip-mirror into a
vintage Nikon F loaded with Kodak Gold 200. The film was exposed
at 1/1000 sec." |
