Hi Arne, good to see you had great weather for the eclipse!

That D60 and FS-60C are certainly a great combination for eclipse. Nice work!

Also good to see that the University of Oslo web report features Carsten's eclipse images :)

Any chance that you'll find yourself back in Australia for the Mars opposition? It's not getting to high up in altitude this Summer in Norway <g>.

Take care,

John Boudreau
