Hi all. Wondering how many members are planning to view the total solar eclipse on the 22nd July this year. Shanghai will be a popular destination as it is on the path of totality which will last almost 6 minutes there. Weather and local atmospheric conditions, ie air pollution, will be major factors for this one. I'll be there, but also taking the opportunity to see some of the tourist attractions in Beijing, etc.
I was very fortunate to travel to Zimbabwe from Scotland to see totality on the 21st June 2001 for what was an extremely memorable event. I've attached a couple of my images, mid totality and third contact, to whet your appetites! Russ
