Armagh Observatory staff were active in many ways. Aileen McKee, Martin Murphy, Lawrence Young and summer student Jonathan Horner helped the Planetarium cope with the large influx of visitors on eclipse day. Other Armagh astronomers observed the solar eclipse from various parts of Europe, ranging from places in Cornwall (cloudy), Alderney (clear), Northern France (cloudy), to Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey (all clear). Reports from several of these observations were recorded in various media, including national radio, television and newspapers. The Irish Astronomical Association published an excellent summary of eclipse reports in the September issue of Stardust.
The Librarian's solar eclipse leaflet, prepared the previous year in readiness for the total solar eclipse (and also distributed through the Observatory's web-page: http://www.arm.ac.uk/eclipse99.html), was in great demand throughout the year, and a second print run was made. In total, almost 1500 hard copies of the eclipse leaflet were distributed to individuals and various organizations, the latter including the Royal Astronomical Society, the Royal Irish Academy, the PPARC, the English Riviera Tourist Board, and Devon County Council.
