TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE

A team of ABAA members went to GAYA to observe, experience and Photograph the Total solar eclipse that took place on 22nd July 2009.

Team consisted of:
Jayanth
Prakash Subbanna
Prakash R S
Mani
Madhava
Nagraj
Naveen
Arun

The clouds played a spoil sport as it did in most parts of the country, but it did clear before the totality. For most of the members it was a first time experience of a totality and they were thrilled. But due to light haze and patches of clouds member could not capture the true grandeur of totality.

Our Vice President Mr Prakash Subbanna took photograph with good results considering the sky conditions on that day.

Jayant, President of ABAA, video graphed the event and for the first time, All India Radio, Bangalore, broad casted live commentary of the Eclipse. The commentary was given in kannada by Mr T. S. Madhava, Jayanth and Prakash also gave details of the event on the radio. The was heard by general public throughout Karnataka and was well appreciated.
