Hi Dan, Our NASS member in Japan, Barry Duell, gave a presentation a few years ago on the Fuji Diamond. This inspired me to observe and take pictures from my home of sunrise over Mt Baker. This glaciated volcanic peak 10,781 ft or 3286 m high is about 100 km across the Salish Sea from my home in "Sidney by the Sea" BC. Conditions were perfect on 1 April 2013, clear skies and a solar declination of 4.6° and sunrise azimuth of 83°. The pictures of this Mt Baker Diamond are here. https://picasaweb.google.com/rtbailey101/MtBakerDiamond?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCJCXqrr1qqWyFw&feat=directlink. The moonrises here are equally spectacular.
Best Wishes for 2016, Roger Bailey From: Dan-George Uza Sent: Monday, January 04, 2016 1:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Diamond Fuji Hello, I saw a news report today about “Diamond Fuji”. When the sun appears to rise or set on top of Mount Fuji in Japan it shines like a diamond. http://newsonjapan.com/html/newsdesk/article/114827.php -- Dan Uza -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
