High Altitude Observatory (HAO) Solar Eclipse Archive
Listed in National Center for Atmospheric Research
The High Altitude Observatory (HAO) Eclipse Archive from the National Center for Atmospheric Research is an archive consists of solar eclipse images, which are deemed to be of sufficient quality for research.
Description
Since the photographic era began in the mid 1800s, over 100 total solar eclipses have occurred, and a considerable fraction of which were photographed using telescopes of large focal length. In the late 1960s, Jack Eddy researched, copied, and carefully documented many of the historical eclipse plates.
He compiled data for 20 eclipses: those of 1869, 1878, 1889, 1893, 1898, 1900, 1901, 1905, 1908, 1918, 1922, 1923, 1925, 1932, 1937, 1952, 1962, 1963, 1965, and 1966. The copied plates are stored at the High Altitude Observatory in Boulder, Colorado and the digital images are available through this online archive.
