Clouding Up236 viewsTowards sunset, the clouds, which had mercifully given us a clear sky for the entire eclipse, began to move in on our observation site.Sep 02, 2019

Jim Windlinger's Setup212 viewsJim Windlinger brought a superb array of equipment to the 2006 eclipse - a Borg telescope, all-automated mount and guiding apparatus, digital camera. But it was the Nazar Boncuk hanging from the counterweight shaft that really guaranteed the success of his endeavor.Sep 02, 2019

Taking the High Ground209 viewsI guess these people figured they could get a better view of the eclipse by being a bit closer to the Sun.Sep 02, 2019

An Eclipse-Chaser's Dream247 viewsThe beachfront park behind the Kaya Side Hotel was an ideal site for watching an eclipse, and the weather was cooperative.Sep 02, 2019

No Takers203 viewsThe paddleboats and jet skis were idle on Eclipse Day, and the gaily decorated cabanas were mostly deserted. Everyone was watching the eclipse.Sep 02, 2019

Beachfront274 viewsIn the summer the beach would have been filled with vacationers under umbrellas (you can see the naked umbrella frames in this picture). But today there were no beachgoers, just eclipse-chasers, setting up their equipment on the solid ground in back of the hotel.Sep 02, 2019

Lap of Luxury279 viewsThe Kaya Side was probably the most luxurious hotel I've ever stayed in, not excepting Las Vegas. The roses and rose petals scattered around the bathroom added an extra touch of opulence to an already outstanding ambience.Sep 02, 2019

Totality Sunset269 viewsAn unedited photo of the eclipse site at totality.Sep 02, 2019

Keeping on Track240 viewsSince my setup was all-manual, with no motor drive or Go-To electronics, I had to continually adjust the mount to keep the Sun's image in the camera viewfinder.Sep 02, 2019
