SOLAR ECLIPSE 2009

Total Solar Eclipse 2009 Shanghai and Jiashan China.
Pre VERSION 2009/08/13

60% chance of good weather was the forecast. We gambled and took the trip with a large group of Austrian astronomers to China. The weather on eclipse day was not perfect! But we were able to take some pictures.
We - (My wife Franziska, Manfred and Daniela Schwarz,
Sepperl Schwarz + wife Anny and me) made the long trip from Vienna to China. The organisation done by ASC Conrad was perfect as always.

It was my 5th total eclipse, this time in a big impressive City.
