The observing location at the extreme East of Spain is Cabo de la Nao.


The selection of the observing location was made a week before, looking at the tridimensional maps of Google Earth! The selected hill has a view directly over the Mediterranean Sea, and is 400m high.


The Sun rise in the middle of the clouds...


Nevertheless the clouds, we continue the assembling of the instruments, hoping in an aperture.


Some minutes before the eclipse starts, the clouds start to open ans let see some rays of the Sun.


What are all doing? Do they check the map to verify to be in the right place? NO!!!


The map is full of holes and project a lot of eclipse images on the wall behind! (if you need a map, don't ask to Alessandro, his are all full of holes!!!)


My instruments: a Pentax 75 apochromatic refractor on a Kenko NES mount, Panasonic NV-DS15 videocamera with optical multiplier (total 60x) and a photocamera for the sequence. Please note the finely adjustable counterweingth...


The eclipse seen trough the eclipse glasses is a wonderful show!

At the end of the eclipse we all relaxed and were happy for the show: from left Lorenzo, Alessandro, Alberto, Marco and Emmanuele.
