Default Eclipse questions



Just look for 'Olympus fit'. At least 500mm for your close-ups, wider for
the corona and landscapes. Come to think of it, you need two bodies. I had
for Cornwall. Cloudy, but I was ready.



I went to France and got to see the 1999 one. But it was a VERY tough
choice. I wanted to see it from our shores, and - this sounds a bit silly -
although I saw totality I'm still a little jealous of those that were under
the shadow of the Moon on UK soil.

I'm not too fussed about stunning images, so I'll get a cheap zoom off ebay.
Thanks for the tips ;-)

And I doubt I'll worry about jabs, just for one night stayover.
