We had lots of stuff (photo, videocamera and a small telescope), so we were pretty busy, but everything went fine and we had a great time;
An experience I would t have missed for anything in the world!

| Solar Eclipse 11.08.1999 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We had our observationpoint near Oberwart in Burgenland, Austria. Unfortunately, the weather wasn t as good as expected and hoped for. Nevertheless there were enough holes in the clouds so that we were able to watch the eclipse nearly for the whole time. We had lots of stuff (photo, videocamera and a small telescope), so we were pretty busy, but everything went fine and we had a great time; An experience I would t have missed for anything in the world! |

| The spetacular - at least the astronomical one - began at 11:23 MESZ. The media spectacular started weeks prior, everyone was talking about the eclipse and there was made a huge event out of it.. |
