   Howdy! Holger,   
      
   Thanks for the update about the solar eclipse.   
   Too bad the WX didn't cooperate that day.   
      
   Just wondering? Had You already heard of the eclipse before I wrote my   
   post?   
      
   IIRC I remember in the 1960's a solar eclipse occured in my area and   
   I used a piece of paper with a hole punched in it to put the image on   
   another piece of paper so I could see it.   
      
   The only other eclipse I've seen was a eclipse of the moon.   
   I was at work that night and it seemed like it took several hours from   
   the beginning that night until Sunrise occured and I couldn't see the   
   ending of the eclipse anymore.
