On August 11, 1999 - weather permitting - millions of residents & visitors in the UK & across northern Europe will witness an eclipse of the sun. For those in much of Cornwall & southern Devon, & under its track through Europe, the eclipse will be total. The last one to be seen on the mainland of Britain was in 1927 & the next will not occur until September 23, 2090 so for most people it is a once in a lifetime experience. While there is much to be said for simply looking & enjoying one of the most beautiful & awe-inspiring sights in nature, many will wish to capture it on the film. This book is intended for them. Whether a simple "fun" camera is likely to be used or a much more advanced camera these pages will advise frankly on what is possible & what is not & range widely over such subjects as eye safety & suitable films. It is written by an experienced professional astrophotographer who routinely images the Sun at every available opportunity from his observatory in Southern England & who has been chasing solar eclipses for around 20 years in places as far apart as Indonesia & Arizona, Chile & Finland. Readers may not have the chance to see another solar eclipse but the advice appearing in this book could help them to create a personal pictorial record that will last for a lifetime.
