Eclipse Hunters

The Eclipse Hunters project is a week-long meeting of Polish and Turkish young astronomy amateurs in Side (Turkey) from 26 March to 3 April. The young people will observe the sky, expand the astronomical knowledge and learn about their countries culture and history. The climax of the meeting would be the observations of total solar eclipse on March 29, 2006. The post-project activities include photography exhibitions in many cities of both countries.
