I began to do some preparations for the solar eclipse...

Have written down a list of 34 items I need to keep in handy during the eclipse

(scope, cameras, tripods, laptop, clocks, thermometer, etc.) - it's a nightmare to get all of this collected and adjusted - but at least it's better than rushing up in an hour before the event. I'd wish to do it in a proper manner, so have planned to make a preparational observing session (with the exactly similar timetable & full equipment) on one of the days within Dec.28-30 or Jan.01-02.
Merry Christmas to everyone here on the forum!
