Excerpt from Suggestions for Observing the Total Eclipse of the Sun on January 1, 1889 The following brief suggestions in regard to observing the total solar eclipse of January 1, 1889, have been compiled from various sources, in the belief that they may be of use to intending observers. It is hoped that the Lick Observatory may find means to print the results of observations made by its astronomers in the field, and at Mount Hamilton. Any valuable observations made by other observers, and promptly communicated to the Observatory, will be included in such a publication. Correspondence on this and other subjects relating to the eclipse should be addressed to the Director of the Lick Observatory, Mount Hamilton, San Jose, California.
