Welcome to the "2001 Zimbabwe Total Solar Eclipse" gallery of astrophotographs.com!

The photographs below are among my most recent efforts. Included are photographs from the 2001 Total Solar Eclipse as experienced from the village of Rushinga, Zimbabwe. For much more on this event and to access many photographs and narratives featuring our travels to Zimbabwe, click on this text and link to the freestanding web site www.willisgreinerphoto.com.

All of the 2001 Total Solar Eclipse images were taken on June 21, 2001, from Rushinga, Zimbabwe. The photographs were taken at prime focus of a Celestron C-8 telescope with optical reduction to f/6.3. ASA 100 Fuji color negative film was used on all of these eclipse astrophotographs. The camera was an ancient Pentax Spotmatic. [An interesting sidebar is that my venerable orange C-8 (accompanied by my wife and I) was pictured in the October, 2001 issue of Astronomy Magazine, in Editor-In-Chief Bonnie Gordon's column. Astronomy Magazine, along with A1Specialty Tours, were the organizers of our extraordinary time in Africa.] Much more on this is available at willisgreinerphoto.com and in a recent newsletter. I was also honored to have two landscape/wildlife photographs published in the "Hot Shots" section of that same issue.

To further explore the "Something New" section of astrophotographs.com please use the various navigation strategies below the photographs.
