Hi ATiCs !

I put together some links that are relevant w.r.t. the Totality of the Sun
at the 11th of August. Here in Europe some of us are lucky to drive 0
(zero) kilometers to see the fully shaded Sun. I only have to drive to the
area north of Sigmaringen.

If you has the TOP50 Baden-Würrtemberg CD or the TOP200 Germany CD, you
should get the no-cost overlay (sonnenf.ovl) from the following page

   http://www.lv-bw.de/sonnenf/start.htm .

After you have downloaded and un-zipped file sovl.zip, start your TOP50
application, load the overlay and see where the 100% terminator is (hatched
zone) by loading the appropriate map.

Some villages that are WITHIN the zone of totality at the southern border
of the eclipse-band (West to East):

 - Offenburg am Rhein
 - Freudenstadt
 - Loßburg 
 - Sulz am Neckar
 - Gammertingen
 - Zwiefalten
 - Laupheim
 - Mindelheim
 - Landsberg am Lech

TOP50 and TOP200 are Topographic maps on CDs. More information under
http://www.lverma.nrw.de/ (German only).

Much fun with the links - especially with the A.T. Sinclair link - on my
Astro Page
