Larry, that's an amazingly comprehensive set. Good enough for any astronomy
textbook. We had a total here on 4th Dec 2002 but hardly anyone saw it
because the N Limpopo Province was shrouded it cloud. All we experienced was
a couple of minutes of darkness. I'll take your set as we might have seen!
On 30th June 1954 there was a total in the USA. The American astronomer,
Percy Wilkins & others chased it at 10 000' in a Boeing Stratocruiser
somewhat stretching the period of totality to about 7min. He made a series
of pencil sketches.

Some of these will be cleaned up later, but here are 35 frames showing
the progress of the eclipse, some of which also show the dust on my
sensor (oops)
