Drying of raisins in huge buildings and the desert at Hami, yurt camp near Barkol

After passing Hami we reached the gras high lands which were laying over an altitude of 5000m. From here we steered the course along the Mongolian frontier, crossing Barkol and than attaching directly the central line near Yuwi.

Eclipse City near Ywui


The dominating situation at this place was the well known permanent escaping from the nice weather clouds. Here the team was always sportive on the run by finding a bigger cloud gap at last. A fixpoint observation (stative and tracing) was nearly impossible, but anyhow new fascinating pictures were originated.

The totality

 

     

Using a special image processing tool the extraction and amplification of the magnetic field lines of the sun could be shown up more intensive. Like at the total eclipse in Turkeye 2006, you can see a very flat line bundle like a 'cat beard' of the minimum corona caused by the still weak activities of our sun.
