Tweeting about the Solar Eclipse Calendar (SEC) daily on Twitter (@PatrickPoitevin), FaceBook (Patrick Poitevin), occasionally in LinkedIn. Follow me on FaceBook as "Patrick Poitevin" or on Twitter as @PatrickPoitevin
Started Solar Eclipse Mailing List (SEML) in 1997, Solar Eclipse Newsletter (SENL) in 1996, and we organised now four international Solar Eclipse Conferences (SEC): Antwerp Belgium SEC2000, Milton Keynes UK SEC2004, Los Angeles US SEC2007, New Mexico US SEC2014.
We started with the UK Project "Scopes4SEN" to give children with special educational needs and more vulnerable people the chance to watch the Moon, Planets and Stars with their own telescope of their school or institute. A telescope, binocular and plenty of educational materials is given free to schools and institutes. See tab above.
Majority of Solar & Astronomy images at "Other interesting Observations" tab above.
Observed and traveled to over 45 solar eclipses (see these pages "Our Travels") + over 5 transits (Mercury and Venus). Have been "in totality" for over an hour.
Comments, recommendations, critics welcome!
