Knowing how to anticipate and outsmart the weather and its vagaries. That's what chasing solar eclipses is often all about. The Total Solar Eclipse (TSE) of July 22, 2009, will probably be long remembered more for the views of clouds and thunderstorms than of a dazzling corona eclipses can often treat us with.

Nevertheless, I managed to pull off some rather decent shots, of which this post is just a very short preview. So, click on the "Read more" link below for some more pictures, but check back often because I will soon be posting a complete report of my adventure!

Uno, due, tre... e quattro! Come il numero di eclissi che ho osservato nella mia vita: questa volta è stato il turno della Siberia. Come vedrete, è stato tutt'altro che facile, ma alla fine quello che conta è avercela fatta ed aver inanellato un successo il cui ricordo rimarrà a lungo. >>> Cliccate qui per il resoconto completo in Italiano! <<<

One, two, three... and four! Four as the number of eclipses I've observed so far in my life: this one took place in Siberia. As you'll see, it's been no easy task, but at the end of the day what really counts is that it turned out to be a great success, whose memories will last for a long time. >>> Click here for the full report in English! <<<
