Canon 40D camera, ISO 200, 1/8”DescriptionMongolian Expedtions’ solar eclipse camp at Khoton lake Mongolia, (Lat. 48° 38” 46” N, Long> 88° 18” 46” E, Elev. 2079 m). From this fantastic location our group, 27 avid eclipse chasers, and support staff of 19, had a breath taking view the eclipse. The sky was clear, however there was a strong wind, which required the use of a wind block to shelter the equipment. This image is one of 2,500 that were taken, which will be used to create a time-lapse movie of the eclipse. |

The camera wastreined at the Perseus constellation with the Pleades visible at the upper right of the FOV, and Capella was just below the meteor observed. We were averaging < 1/ min, and most were not coming "out" of the Perseus Constellation. Several photos just missed being caught, but this one wasn't. The close-up shows distinct color banding of the elemental make-up of the meteor. |
