Nice #eclipse reference ! Although slightly west, north and northeast of #NovaScotia would be best for #TSE2024 (also next #TSE is on 20 April 2023).

Tempted to fly your Learjet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun? (Due on 8 April 2024.) The Campaign for Better Transport says you should pay £thousands more in Air Passenger Duty. You're so vain, you probably think this tax is about you. independent.co.uk/travel/news-an
7/8: I was pleased with the Vespera’s performance. It tracked the Sun flawlessly and made it easy to follow the eclipse safely and effortlessly take photos. Next time I would set it up 30 minutes before the eclipse and make sure it was tracking and imaging before the eclipse.

6/8: What I did notice is that the solar filter can’t stand much cloud. Thin cloud is OK, but anything more and the view is hugely degraded – even though my regular optical telescope nearby (also wearing a solar filter) was still able to give me a usable view of the eclipse.

4/8: It’s so stupidly easy to use. Once it was focused on the Sun – which it could only successfully do once there were a few minutes of clear sky – it gave me this live view which I could download to my phones camera roll, share on social or save as raw TIFF/FITS files.
