I am sending you some photos of totality that were captured from the shores of lake Ob', outside the town of Novosibirsk, Siberia, Russia. Was a pretty awesome experience!

Oops, i forgot to write the equipment: Bresser Skylux 70mm refractor, Canon EOS 450D (US - Digital Rebel XSi), on Bresser Skylux tripod (type EQ1) with one motor. This scope has so sharp optics and it's so light that it's ideal for photographing such events. -------------------- http://www.astrochas.net/ Post Extras:       David Rivas Carpal Tunnel Reged: 05/29/04 Posts: 2004 Loc: Lima, Peru Re: Totality from Siberia.

Did you travel to Siberia especially to capture the eclipse? it is cold, isn't it... I look forward to seeing more shots of you posted here mate!! Bests, David Post Extras:       Elias professor emeritus Reged: 08/31/05 Posts: 586 Loc: Greece Re: Totality from Siberia. [Re: David Rivas]       #2562244 - 08/05/08 05:04 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thank you dear David!!! Of course i traveled especially for the eclipse, but spent some days in Moscow too, very nice! Contrary to what is believed Novosibirsk is hot in the summer(temps can reach 90-100F, 32-40C)and it feels more hot due to high humidity! In the winter though the average temperature is 2F/-17C!!! -------------------- http://www.astrochas.net/ Post Extras:       David Rivas Carpal Tunnel Reged: 05/29/04 Posts: 2004 Loc: Lima, Peru Re: Totality from Siberia. [Re: Elias]       #2562382 - 08/05/08 06:15 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Oh! To be honest... I didn't know it, Elias... I can't believe it, I have always thought it was very cold there... It must have been a very nice experience!! Yes you're right, humidity makes the weather sensation more apparent(either hot or cold) I hope you have fixed your C11's secondary mirror! And I would also love to see your UV shots with your new Schuler filter!!... you got one, didn't you?? Hugs my friend!

[Re: David Rivas]       #2563702 - 08/06/08 11:19 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   David, the whole trip was a fantastic experience and thank God we had clear conditions during the eclipse, otherwise we would be disappointed. It was my second total eclipse after the one i saw in Kastellorizo, Greece in 2006, but then i didn't take photographs (i enjoyed it more because of that!). As for my C11 i correct the collimation as you've told me. I await for Venus to gain some altitude. My focus recently is on photography of celestial objects with earthly targets as ancient monuments, e.t.c. and that's why i am not so active here. -------------------- http://www.astrochas.net/ Post Extras:       John Boudreau member Reged: 04/06/08 Posts: 51 Loc: Saugus, MA Re: Totality from Siberia.

This is just out of pure jealousy as I couldn't get to the eclipse myself. I hope you don't mind too much.
