I have placed some pictures on the eclipse from Libya in my page of the photo album. http://www.utahastronomy.com/view_album.php?set_albumName=ddunn Thanks, David Dunn 801-961-3253
Very nice, David. I guess you'll agree with Cory and me that it had one of the smallest, but brightest, coronas. It seemed to verge on being an annular, though of course it wasn't. We saw it from the Astronomical Tours cruise off Rhodes, and I put a couple of my photos on my album. Best wishes, Joe
PS: David, were you in Libya as part of a tour? Which outfit? While Cory and I were in Europe we heard a story that the Astronomical Tours trip to Libya was canceled at the last minute. (We were with Astronomical Tours and part of it was great while part wasn't.) Supposedly, Gadhafi suddenly demanded an $80-each entry fee and an $80-each exit fee, which for some unknown reason caused them to pull out. That didn't make sense to me, because if you've spent the enormous amount to get to Libya in the first place, what's another $160? So can you fill me in on this? Thanks, Joe
