Photographs taken with Tamron 28-300mm zoom lens using Minolta Dynax 5 camera. Getting eclipses in perfect focus is apparently quite difficult. The video movie was taken using an aging Panasonic NV-DA1B digital camera set on auto. The Libyan desert was heaving with thousands of people, mostly Libyans, even though this was hundreds of miles from any major town. Perfect viewing conditions. Temperature around 33C. Totality lasted just over 4 minutes. Location: 28° 14.543' N 21° 31.192' E
