Solar Eclipse on 10 June 2002
An Annular Eclipse of the Sun was seen on 10 June
GMT starting as a partial eclipse from eastern Asia, and the annularity
began from the Celebes Sea, crossed the Pacific Ocean and ended on the west coast of Mexico. The annularity started at 21:51 GMT and ended at 01:35 GMT. The maximal duration was 23 seconds.
Teruaki KUMAMORI watched the partial eclipse at Sakai, Osaka. The sky was rather
full of clouds, but at 08:00 JST on 11 June (23:00
GMT on
10 June), he produced the present image by the use of a Sony handycam Video camera.
Naoya MATSUMOTO took a flight to Tinian, Northern Marianas Islands,
and produced a set of photos as below at the rooftop of the Dynasty Hotel
(located at 145.6ﾟE, 14.9ﾟN).
He used a Borg 10cm ED refractor down to 5cm with an fl=1280mm. Each image was made
exposed on Fuji
Provia 100F for 1/60 seconds by the use
of a Nikkor 4D filter.
