P3D Re: Photographing the Eclipse

[boris@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Boris Starosta)]

Dudley? earlier posted that he cannot view near the center of the path of
the upcoming eclipse in Europe.  THat may not be a bad thing.

Although this is not exactly 3-d related, it may be of interest to our
European readers who may have an opportunity to see the eclipse.  I'll keep
it short: it may be more interesting to watch a total eclipse near the edge
of the path of totality.  Totality may not last quite as long, but various
"edge effects" make for a more interesting observing experience.

My friend, astronomer Tom van Flandern, has run eclipse expeditions for
many years, and has a website that describes the expeditions, and tells you
why observing from the edge of the path of totality will be more
interesting for you.

Sorry about the somewhat non-topical (3d) post, but I'm a big fan of
astronomy, and just couldn't help myself.
