TSE at Lusaka, 21 Jun, 2001 |
The safe way to watch the Sun! |
 |
|
 |
A brilliant diamond ring, just before second contact! The Moon is coming from below, due west. |
|
The middle corona was symmetrical. |
|
|
 |
Jupiter and Saturnus were easily spotted with the naked eye. | |
| My observing was done on a roof at Jul's plot, not that ready for use, as can be seen. The purpose was to watch the shadow of the Moon, but the air was not transparent enough. |  |

Amateur astronomy at Drakensberg |
||
I had the opportunity to use a cameradrive (courtesy Hans Kronkvist) to get this nice picture of the Southern Cross and Eta Carinae. Also the Coalsack is prominent. 50 mm @ 1600 ASA & 4 min. |
 |
|
| Quite a sight for a Northerner! The centre of our Galaxy at zenith. Mars as bright and red as ever. 20 mm @ 1600 ASA & 8 min. |  |
|
| The SMC was an easy object, as well as 47 Tucane. Later also the LMC made us happy. In my telescope, everything was outstanding to observe that night. 50 mm @ 1600 ASA & 4 min. |  |
