Ah, poor Aluqak,
Bah! nothing to see here in North America :angry:. When I lived in home country I saw three solar eclipses... here... nothing!!!
Canada is definitevily the outerworld :(

tough luck this time, it seems. :( But in other years the Americas are preferred. But I'm afraid that the next really good eclipse year for North America will be 2012...
Cheers, anyway!

Barcelona: 43% eclipse magnitude, first contact at 9.21 UT, maximum at 10.21, fourth contact at 11.23. That's about as much as I saw last October. Believe me - even if it's far from being total it's worth to have a look. :-)
Cheers!

Thanks thanks :pop:
I'll try to watch it, then (with appropiate glasses, of course -_- ).
*cannot wait until the day :w00t:

But you have to convert these times from UT to your local time! Dunno what difference you have to UT...
Cheers!

What's UT time? :unsure:
Hey man, do you know if the lunar eclipse will be visible from this side of the pond?
I feel so lonely here ... without solar eclipses :bawling:
[snapback]7572[/snapback]
Sheep don't give nothing to Aluqak let him stay lonely as i was 5 days :ph34r: :iefox8dr:
/me steals the hankies and disapear :ph34r: Muhaahah hahaha
you didn't look at the map (http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/OH/image1/LE2006Mar14-Fig1.GIF), did you? The moon rises in eclipse over most of America. Unless you live on the Western edge you might be able to view the event, although it will be more difficult for you due to the low altitude.

Map?... was there a map? ... :c0857do:
Anyway, It's nice to see that I could see the lunar eclipse buuuut... it's not the altitude that concerns me but the clouds. It has been raining here since yesterday night, and in theory it won't stop until tomorrow :mad3:
And you dare to say that?! :mad3:
Make yourself a hot drink now, put on a warm pullover and have a nice evening walk! Otherwise... :ph34r:

B... b... but... I am on pijamas... :unsure:
Hey girls,
don't let the sheer size fool you! I have already worked with a telescope that is equally powerful, but only a third the size - just small enough to fit in a large trunk. That depends on the technology the scope uses. But anyway: This large one does make it easy to portrait the sun or the moon. :) Too bad I can't take it along to Turkey. :lol3: But then again I don't intend to do any astropics there at all.
Cheers!

Size does not matter (or it does :evil: ).
:roll1:
Don't tell to my boss!!! :evil:
[snapback]7967[/snapback]
I won't betray you, Your Majesty! (haha. Bet I will :evil: )
I'll be at school, so it should't be a problem to get a quick glance.
I DO have a clear sky (it has been like that for almost a week now) :D.... but there's a "minor" problem... I cannot see the eclipse from here :(.
Nice to see you enjoyed it Luth (I must add that was a nice repport :)).
[snapback]7984[/snapback]
Sorry to hear it Aluqak... and thanks for eating the clouds in the best moment!!! :P
Ely: which type of sun glasses did you use? normal ones? :afraid1: Good you could see the eclypse though! :P
Yep, I used normal sun glasses, but pretty stong ones, though (still, no skiing type :D). I know, Markus' gonna kill me!
[snapback]7993[/snapback]
He will... and me too!!! :ph34r:
I just learned that I happen to be in the background of the photos that a certain Dave Balch from L.A. took on our site. I'm the guy with the straw hat and his back to the camera.

Nice pic Markus, you look .... :unsure: ... backwards.
Another pic shows our eclipse sheep. :D

Getting hungry :iconmi77kl:
Eclipse hat? :blink: Is something special about it, does it push clouds away? :blink:
[snapback]8229[/snapback]
Didn't you know?! :huh:
The reason the eclipse was where Markus was is because the sun actually follows his hat! It's true.
I'm more inclined to believe that Markus' hat follows the Sun eclipses, but I'll have to trust you... :huh:

have you ever known me to make stuff up?! -_-
Last summer I was presented with a crystal decanter by Sir Richard Branson, to commend me on how truthful and trustworthy my facts are, you know. You can check that on his website.
