Hi Robert. What a great web page! Thanks for sending it along. I like all the technical info about what you did with all your cameras. It seem that on top of firing off 7 cameras, you somehow managed to keep track of every exposure and lense type. I am impressed.

Are you planning any future eclipse travels?

Maryann---

It comes down to organisation and planning, based on research and experience.

Yes, we do plan on future eclipses. However, Elisabeth and I have serious reservations about being involved with large groups.

Thanks Jim.

Now, if we can only get Astronomy's editors to read my 'README' files and inserts...

This image is actually the second contact flash spectrum--that is the spectrum of the chromosphere. The coronal ring at 5303A is barely visible therein; I needed a 1/2 second, not a 1/60 second exposure to get any coronal spectrum. Certainly, a magazine copy of the image would not reproduce the coronal green line at all.

I am quite thankful for all of the support I received from the Gitzo tripod. Any shaking messes up those lines quite badly!

Congratulations, Robert! Can you explain to me what exactly a flash spectrum is and what is the significance of capturing it? This is a part of eclipses I'm not familiar with.
