Re: Shooting the eclipse.

[Luvdove6@xxxxxxx]

I have been hearing about it...  scary thing is that in a Nostradamus 
quatrain it was said that in that eclipse of the sun in 1999, we will see a 
tail of a comet that we are supposedly supposed to literally pass right 
through in September...  I guess its only scary if you believe his 
predictions!   
That had nothing to do with IR tho...   I was going to ask...  is that 
eclipse a total eclipse?  Or partial?   Because if it is partial then the HIE 
will pick up to much light and it will be a total white picture wouldn't it?  
I've never done it though so I was just wondering  ;-)
