  • Partial solar eclipse

    Had a wonderful day in March 2015 watching an partial eclipse as cloud cover was just perfect to enjoy the spectacle and could be the same today.

    The Greek system based on the 365/366 day calendar could predict eclipses to a day, however, it takes the RA/Dec framework to predict the exact times of the event during that day. Both are predictive frameworks with the Greek system closer to heliostatic
    astronomy as it partitions the direct motion of the Sun through the ecliptic from the wandering motions of the planets-

    The RA/Dec framework uses the 24 hour system within the calendar framework but is further removed from heliostatic interpretative astronomy as it also puts the Sun in a wandering motion against the planet's daily rotational equator-

    Just as the moon is passing between the moon and its central planet, Venus is passing behind the Sun as seen from a slower moving Earth on the opposite side of the solar system-

    I am sorry people don't do compromise as RA/Dec has a role in predicting events. It must genuinely hurt observers to know they are chained to less productive perspectives and therefore imaging will go to waste for no good reason other than it pays the
    salaries of a few mathematicians calling themselves physicists, astrophysicists, cosmologists or some other impressive title.

    And it was a clouded eclipse here in The Netherlands. Only in the
    first half hour I was able to take a few pictures.

    Call me Dude, when it's a full solar eclipse!
