Hello,

We have watched the total eclipse from near St. Quentin in France, and
totally agree with above comment. The eclipsed sun makes you forget
everything, it is astonishing -I didn't even see Venus, although Koen and
Casper did. Even if Perseids did appear, we were looking to far more
spectacular things....
