Poor communications to outside world from remote site. Nearby Internet connection was down, nearest alternative a 200 km round trip away. All in all, despite the many cliff hangers, we had an extremely successful expedition. Data analysis is being carried out and reports and papers produced. Our attention is centred on fast changes in the corona and prominences and searches for periodic modulations in the coronal emission.
Early results confirm that there are very fast changes occurring in the solar corona.
This work will be a big step forward in understanding the complex heating processes within the sun and its atmosphere and help to solve the 50 year old mystery of the Corona heating problem .

This expedition and collaboration with our Polish and Bulgarian colleagues would not have been possible as recently as a decade ago. The fall of the 'Iron Curtain' and expansion in global communications including of course the Internet offer valuable new opportunities for international scientific collaboration.
