Baily's beads after the third contact II.
Although the observing conditions during the total solar eclipse in Bolivia were not perfect, Daniel
Schechter obtained very good images of beads after the third contact. The thin high clouds caused the
difuse light in images, which decreased the extreme contrast, made the image processing easier and
enabled to create very impresive final images. I processed the sequence of four images, image No. II.
is presented on this page. The rest of Baily's beads images (I, III. IV.) you may display by clicking
following small images.
