Total Sun eclipse - 01 August 2008
At first I have to say the weather was perfect. No clouds in the sky in front of sun during eclipse. On the other hand I could observe just partial eclipse because of my location.
Everything was ok, the sun was shining, clouds was going around, camera was producing images, mount was working and web-camera was recording sequence of 20 frames every minute. But suddenly horror struck. Mount stopped. What is going on? A big problem. Computer controlling of mount was over. So as quickly as possible I called my son to help me. He was working perfectly as substitutive engine of my mount. Thanks for it.Please, click on the picture to see video of eclipse...
