The main Contacts of Annular Eclipse 15th January 2010

The contacts of the eclipses are really important to anyone, interested in eclipses, Especially the contacts are considered as milestones of a whole eclipse. Now I'm posting the contacts that were photographed by our friend Shehal during the eclipse.

He was of great assistance to all of us majorly, throughout the eclipse session, I'm sure you will find his infrared filtered photos awesome, Thank you Shehal, Of course feel free to visit him @ kanabona and meet him ! :D

Here is the 1st Contact of the Eclipse

Thus follows the contact No.2

Please note that the reflected images are due to the polarizer and glass filter that Shehal used,

Next comes Contact #3
