Bernd Brinkmann´s Images of the Total Solar Eclipse on
|
Our observations of the total solar eclipse near Shabla in northern Bulgaria were a total success. With a group of 2 Dutch, 1 Canadian, 4 Bulgarian and 7 German amateur astronomers we were at a lonesome gravel path at 43°32'21" N and 28°33'59" E. The sky was totaly clear without any cloud. The corona was a typical maximum one with streamers in all directions. Also some bright prominences could be seen. Here are the first images with the 500 mm and 1100 mm telelenses. |
The pictures at the bottom of the page show my equipment which I used in Bulgaria at the shores of the Black Sea. On an old Polaris GEM rides the 1100 mm f/10.5 Maksutov-Telelens (here during setup tests at home). As a counterweight I use a Sigma APO-Telezoom (f=170 - 500 mm), which I use with 500 mm focal length. |
