A few more impressions from the eclipse chasers at Ramada Plaza Sino-Bay Hotel, Jinshan, China. Not only that we were clouded out during totality, there was also ample supply of drenching rain afterwards. ;-) Thanks to Silvia Otto and Jan Sundström for the images.

Total Solar Eclipse 22 Jul 2009 - Clouded Partially Eclipsed Sun
At the end, it didn’t work out. We were only partially sucessful, so to speak. Just a few glimpses of the sun thru the clouds between 1st and 2nd contact, and even heavy rain after 3rd contact. The deep darkness was impressing, nevertheless.
A complete travel report (German only) can be found in my ipernity blog.

Total Solar Eclipse 1 Aug 2008 - Diamond Flash #3
Last preparations, only a few days to go.

Only a few days left, the next total solar eclipse on July 22nd is just around the corner. We’ll be heading to a location south of Shanghai.
So this is the perfect time to have a look back at the total solar eclipse of August 1st, 2008.
