Solar Eclipse Sequences from Greece

Dear Friends,

We were privy to GREAT weather in Greece for today's solar eclipse. For
a couple of sequences, please see
http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Eclipses-2005-10-03.htm and/or
http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Eclipses-2005-10-03b.htm .

A Canon EOS 300d was used at the prime focus of an AP160/f7.5 with
exposures every five minutes. Every third such exposure was ultimately
used for the construction of the sequences depicted in the above links.

Next year's solar eclipse includes totality through Greece and, more
specifically, through the Isle of Kastelorizo. What a preview we had
today in anticipation of next year's (local) totality!

Clear skies.

Anthony.

Great, Anthony! Very nice. But the world is no more the same...even the
Norvegians (read: Carsten...) were successful in seeing the eclipse...I've
been flooded with rain outside and by my kitchen sink inside....:-(

it

Clear skies.

I wish!

Ciao Franco,

I am sorry to hear that you missed the event due to the weather. We are
blessed to have excellent weather year-round. Come to Greece! ;-)

Please do. I have a lot of friends from various parts of the world
planning to view and image the eclipse from Kastelorizo and it would be
very nice having you amongst us as well!


Clear skies.


I wish!

Hehehehehe ...

something of the eclipse.

Hi Anthony
very nice sequence you got there.
We at Thessaloniki had a great time watching and showing the eclipse to
students at the Aristotle's University campus.
Visit www.ofa.gr for photos

(we met at the 4th conference in Athens and had a little chat about ISS
transit. We did see it but unfortunately we were imaging a different quarter
and eventually we missed it. Better luck next time)

Graeme,

Hint: March 29, 2006 ... the Greek isle of Kastelorizo will enjoy 3
minutes of totality. ;-)

If you take the boat from Kastelorizo over to Turkey (it's very close),
and then travel as close to the central line as you can get there,
you'll get another 45 seconds (i.e. 3m 45s) of totality !

But your home is Athens, not Kastelorizo! ;-)

Actually, I was thinking a bit along those lines myself for the July
1990 eclipse, which was total shortly after sunrise in Finland but in
Sweden it was only partial. However, on the Swedish island Gotland
that eclipse ought to have been visible as a total eclipse of the
*morning* *twilight* ! I ended up going to Finland to see it though,
and there I was clouded out.... :-(

Anyway, you'll have a nice annular eclipse in Athens in 2030, and a
total eclipse, also in Athens, in 2088. The last one is a bit too
far into the future I suppose - but don't forget to tell your kids
and grandkids about it!
