1999 - Die 11. Starparty Introduction Upcoming Event General Information Archive 1. Despite some clouds the first night from Friday to Saturday was clear. I'll try to give a brief report of this event.

There were many telescopes gathered on the southern part of the place. Of course, the usual Swiss astronomers were there, too. Most of them hadn't had any luck with the Solar Eclipse and saw European rain that fell a bit darker than usual on that special day. Some clouds covered the sky at about one o'clock and we warmed up at a grill and ate some sausages. Some of the astronomers dwelling in villages not far away drove home.
