Svalbard Total Solar Eclipse


This video shows a replay of the total solar eclipse on Svalbard, Friday March 20, 2015. The video was recorded with a 200mm lens and Canon 60D DSLR on a fixed tripod. It was taken from the Isfjord radio station south west of Longyearbyen, almost on the centre line of the eclipse. I was one of a lucky few who took a Basecamp Explorer expedition trip to Isfjord to see the eclipse.

Well done Grant - Svalbard was clearly the place to be on 20 March. Best wishes from GFAS - Galloway Forest Astronomical Society

Thanks Doug. We were very lucky with weather. The two following days were almost zero sky visibility.
