Total solar eclipse in Side, Turkey
March 29, 2006 - Photos and video clip
The location - Side, southern Turkey.
Scientists, photographers and eclipse chasers
from all over the world showing off their impressive equipment.
Mind the eclipse hunters, it's open season.
Every inch of rock and sand was packed with people, tripods, cameras and telescopes.
(The smart ones took a boat.)
A little eclipse goggles fashion show...
If you cannot afford a NASA telescope and a 12 MP camera
use a pair of binoculars as a projector and you still will be able to take a photo of the partially eclipsed sun.
The only totality shot I managed to create myself:
Well you get the idea.
If you want to taste this magic moment I suggest to download the movie clip I took (10 MB .wmv).
Do not send or host the photo and video material presented on this site.
