Bernie's Homepage presents Reports and Information for the Total Eclipse of the Sun in Europe of 11th August 1999. Don't miss this event! At least in Europe you may not see the next one! You may like my own Eclipse Photo Story presented below. You will also find Video Material and nice Eclipse Animations. Hints for Eclipse Photography are included. I added a section for the Leonids Comet Storm on 17th/18th November 1999. Now also with Links for the actual Leonids Event 2002 ! Also interesting: A presentation of various and recommended Astronomy Web Links. |

Together with some friends I have been lucky to watch the Total Eclipse of the Sun. We travelled around in south-eastern Bavaria, following holes within the cloudy sky. Finally we reached the lake Chiemsee, where we found an optimum place to experience this great event. What a pity, that the phase of totality has been so short and the next eclipse is so far away... Though everybody does this, I'll also present some of the photos we took within my Eclipse Photo Story. The page contains Photos of the Sun and also pictures of the story around. The photos are partly copied from the Eclipse Movie that my friend Wolfgang Schrüfer made, there are some from my friend Fritz Hoffmann, the others are taken by myself. |
