Fourth Contact

N47°26'22.3" / E 8°31'28.1" Alt.=1624ft / 495m

Um 13:23:07 Lokalzeit sehen wir die letzte kleine Scharte
zwischen 4-Uhr und 5-Uhr Position den Sonnenrand verlasen.
In drei bis fünf Sekunden findet der "Vierte Kontakt" statt,
welcher sich nicht mehr fotografieren lässt.

At 11:23:07 UTC we see the last little notch between the 4-o'clock
and 5-o'clock position of the sun. The "Fourth Contact" itself can
not be shown on the picture. It's the moment when this little notch
is gone. That's in about three to five seconds time.
Picture taken through Zeiss 1200/150mm APQ refractor with
Coronado H-alpha filter and ScopeTronix 40mm MaxVue eyepiece.
Afocal with T-adapter coupling. Sensitivity equivalent: 50 ASA.
