Near
the limb of the Moon is the double star Zubenelgenubi of the
constellation Libra. "They could even be seen with naked
eye during totality. For these photos I used my Sony 505V DSC
afocally on the 10" Meade LX200 SCT." |

These
pictures were taken between 8:00 am and 9:30 am on a Olympus
3040Z Digital Camera at f1.8, ranging from 1/400 to 8 seconds.
It was a beautiful day, approximately -20 degrees fahrenheit
with no wind and no clouds. |

It
was quite a difficult eclipse, because storm clouds passed often,
along with rain! But, we have finished to see and capture something.
We've decided to select this observation site because of the
nice white and black lighthouse on the foreground. We are lucky
guys, because in France, many skygazers were under thick clouds!
More photos will come soon in my Website Photoastronomique.net

We
were enjoying a wunderful dinner in restaurant which offered
a superb view to the rising moon. Later we drove about 15 km
to a dark place near a small village deeper in the mountains
and watched the total phase of this eclipse. Photo details:
Minolta Dimage 7i, ISO 200, f=3.5, 4s exposure, 200 mm. |

"Weather
forecasts were negative for the day of the eclipse but, fortunately,
45 minutes prior to the start of the eclipse the forecast was
proven wrong. A mad rush ensued! A Canon EOS 300d digital camera
was used at the prime focus of a TeleVue Pronto which in turn
was piggy-backed onto a Celestron 14" SCT and Losmandy
G11 GEM. Exposures every five minutes were taken. Exposures
ranged from 1/2000th to 4 seconds using ISO 1600 and manual
mode. Totality was much darker than that observed for various
earlier eclipses and is estimated to have been around L=1 on
the Danjon scale."
