I found this on yahoo's digital astro group. Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I did. Deb Dear Friends, At the risk of being trite, the exhiliration one experiences watching a total solar eclipse is beyond description and is something that every amateur and professional astronomer should experience at least once in their lifetime. We were privy to exceptional weather and temperatures for the observation (and imaging) of this year's total solar eclipse whose path of totality included the 9-sq km Greek island of Kastelorizo in the eastern Aegean. With well over 3000 visitors to the island, fifteen times the permanent population of this small island community, many visitors from all parts of the world observed and marvelled at the brilliant show put on by our two most visible and dominant celestial neighbours during the course of approximately 2.5 hrs. The three minutes of totality yielded a breathtaking view of the ethereal corona, stunning prominences placed all over the solar limb as well as a magical view of Baily's beads. Regrettably these three minutes seemed to pass in a matter of seconds, for the velvet blue sky very gradually returned to its normal self and our feathered friends started their chirping in anticipation of a "new" sunrise. My initial three photos surrounding totality are the following: http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Eclipses-2006-03-29.htm http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Eclipses-2006-03-29b.htm http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Eclipses-2006-03-29c.htm Best wishes from Greece!
