Eclipse Chasing Experiences, Reports, and Photographs
Due to the geometry and general nature of a solar eclipse, one must travel to the "path of totality". As the moon's shadow touches down on the surface of the Earth, the widest path of totality will be about 100 miles. The longest viewing is from the centerline of that path. Consequently, the journey to see and photograph an eclipse can be almost as fascinating as the eclipse event itself!

The most interesting aspect of eclipse chasing is the people. Eclipse chasers bring all sorts of telescopes, cameras, tripods, and other gizmos that getting past customs at international airports can be an ordeal in itself. As you browse the fields of telescopes, tripods, and cameras remember that the majority were brought along as luggage!
