Hello over there,

I am complitly new to celestai and a I am enthusiastic about the capabilities of celestia. Its some sort of "miracle pocket planetarium".

I tried to have a look on the eclipse of the sun on in August 99 within Europe. I saw at least nothing. I searched here in the forum and found a topic wich told trough some error the eclispe was somewhere within Africa.

Please have a look at http://www.shatters.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=832&highlight=eclipse+africa.

I tried to have the same view and I found neather a eclipse in Africa nor in Europe. Is this something depending on the grafic card?

I use a COmpaq Laptop Evo 600n. Dont ask me what card inside. I think its Asus, but more details are not available yet.

Could anybody give me a short hint on how to see that eclipse?

TNX to all of you and to the celestia team for many hours of fun in front of my laptop.
