Solar eclipse 4/01/11 from Ukraine

First solar eclipse in 2011 was a successful one for me (4th one since 1999).
It was definitely a European eclipse, and even so, that other three would be certainly missed by most european astronomers.
I hope that somebody of you in Australia and NZ will have luck to see the last one this year instead - on November 25th.

The sky was clouded at my hometown, but managed a short-distance eclipse chase just 180km away - to the town of Pyriatyn.

Country road where I set up my equipment. Btw, there was as much as 20...25 cm of snow on the ground.

It began only 1.5 hours after the sunrise

These transparent Altocumulus clouds kept away from the Sun until the very last minutes of the eclipse, so the rest of the time the sky was really good.

Temperature drop measurments (sensor calibrated to 0.2°C)

22x32 binoculars projection (and nice crescent shadows - I didn't plan in advance to get those).

Have taken consequtive shots of the same (northern) area of the sky with equal exposure and without expocompensation. At the same time, I've noted the EV values displayed by camera (the ones that could probably be used).

(NB: as the Sun rised from 10° to 17°, the atmosphere extinction changed from 4х to 2.5х)

(First and third point from the graph above have been used)

P.S. Thanks for the comments Liz!
