Total Solar Eclipse - 1 August 2008

Finally, the images from the total solar eclipse on August 1st are online.

The climax of our trip to China was the observation of the total solar eclipse in the camp near Jinta, Gansu province. The images are now online in the new album Eclipse 2008.

This image shows the diamond ring just a few seconds before totality. Posted at flickr, it generated a huge interest with more than 5500 views.
