I was in Devon for the total eclipse in 1999, the weather really ruined what I was hoping would be a fantastic experience. This time I didn't have a problem, I'm in Turkey, Istanbul at the moment and we had a beautiful view of near totality. It won't happen here again for about 50 years so I can't say how pleased I was to be here and see the Sun in all it's glory. I've been going to the NASA site to look at it again ever since the event. It was the most beautiful experience I have ever had. 8) Catlin
