The “Totemannenbak” is a Christmas event where the Tienen bakers are baking special raisin bread, called a “Toteman”. It is supposed to llok like a Christmas child. Even if in doubt about that last characteristic, in each case it is delightfull yummy!

We sold nice astro articles as presents, like Star Charts, Greeting cards and Glow-in-the-dark stars (what else? ).

Next ofcourse there was hot wine and jenever which contributed to the charm of the event. Capella was happy to make some publicity and get some people interested!

When there is a party going on – stars or no stars – Capella will be there!  We had ‘exclusive’ astronomy articles for sale like STarcharts, glow-in-the-dark stars for the bedroom and beautifull greeting crads with pictures taken by members.  Lots of people joined the party and the Christmas choir brought very nice carols.

Nice presents for the kids…

Urbain Costermans made this original view on the lunar eclips, by matching his eclips pictures to the perceived shadow circle of earth. It came out pretty well!

Well done Urbain!
