I am obviously looking forward to my first "Total" eclipse outside the
UK. I have one thing on my mind - Do I take a small portable scope
with me such as a Meade ETX 90 with a field tripod and BCF Filter and
digital camera to hold over the lens during totality for simplicity,
or do I just go and enjoy my first eclipse visually using safety
glasses and savour the moment?

3+ Mins sounds a bit of a panic with cameras and/or scopes and I don't
want to miss this awesome sight.

What are the rest of you, who are travelling planning to do?

Hi all,

So - I've got my flight booked and a hotel in Side, Turkey ready for
the eclipse. Is anyone else here going along?
