The World At Night (TWAN) The World At Night (TWAN) is a
program to produce and present a collection of stunning photographs
and time-lapse videos of the world's landmarks against the celestial
attractions. The eternally peaceful sky looks the same above
symbols of all nations and regions, attesting to the truly unified
nature of Earth as a planet rather than an amalgam of human-designated
territories.
Ernie Piini Ernie stands tall among the world most experienced eclipse chasers. By my count he has seen something like 24 total eclipses, many annular and other eclipses. I had the pleasure of spending a week travelling with him in 1999. During the week and many many hours in the car, I learned so much that has influenced my own development of equipment and methods for eclipse chasing. In the pre-digital days, Ernie experimented with home made gradualed ND filters, built a 3 way telescope and a custom travel mounting. Unfortunately, Ernie doesn't have his own web site. While he is well known among certain USA groups, I don't think he is so well known among the on-line eclipse chasing community. But his photo's and eclipse reports are scattered all over the web so I have compiled a collection of articles by him or about him from various web sites & sources.

TSE 2008 Best of the web Though there are many excellent photographs documenting earlier eclipses, it seemed to me that the bar was raised for the 2008 eclipse . Maybe I'm being too tough and the bar raised earlier. What I noticed was the large number of really excellent landscape/wide field photos. I believe this is down to the fact that many eclipse photographers have converted to DSLR's. Multiple exposures, composites and high dynamic range imaging. are easier with DSLR's. On Dan Fischer's site, there is a collection of links to everything. What I've attempted to do here is provide links to some of the best quality work available on the web. This is my selection of the best individual images, collections, movies and animations. I've used pictorial quality as well as technical quality in my criteria. Kris Delacourt's 2008TSe album Burkhard Falke Dan McGlaun's shadow movies of TSE 2008 taken from a high altitude flight. Warning : These files are 120MB
each. Given that they were taken through the window of an aircraft,
the optical quality is not very good but they do give a very
interesting perspective.
