And what a show! The Baily’s beads and chromosphere were mesmerizing, nearly 360 degrees around chromosphere. Very spectacular and could not keep my eye off the hydrogen alpha telescope to watch.
. “Having encountered Cyclone Ilsa and two nearby earthquakes while we were there, seeing the eclipse looked to be nearly impossible. Some months ago I had cataract surgery and had my eyes adjusted for far vision. This was the first visual test of being able to see the eclipse during totality. It was great.”
“Such clarity that I never had before. I and 55 of my group were at sea during the eclipse; I had sent 15 others to a small island called Au Chong that I had surveyed the previous day. The ship was experiencing 45 knot winds but I was able to come up with a strategy to mitigate the wind with agreement from Captain Simon. The strategy worked and all photographers were able to get excellent shots during the partial phases and totality. Not one cloud seen all day.
