   It wasn't too bad since we could see the sun and the eclipse through the   
   thin cloud layer.   
      
   EV> Just wondering? Had You already heard of the eclipse before I wrote   
   EV> my post?   
      
   Yes, of course.

   Well, I used a piece of unexposed but developed piece of 36 mm film.   
   Since I've used a lot of 36 mm films in my cameras it was easy to find   
   such a piece at either end of developed film material.   
      
   EV> The only other eclipse I've seen was a eclipse of the moon.   
      
   Eclipses of the moon are quite common. There was one very recently.
