This is a quote for the cruise description:
Sailing with us will be Alan Wright, former principal astronomer at Australia's Parkes Radio Observatory, Daniel Ostler, presenter of ‘Connecting the Dots’ lecture series, and Donna Giesler (aka "The Star Lady"), who's led stargazing workshops for years on the Big Island of Hawaii.
So with all that expertise on board - I am really looking forward to the experience.
Clear skies

If that lot can't get the moon in front of the sun then no one can.

Good luck Rod, you'll have a blast!

True, but if your fov is say 2 degrees and the ship rolls 5 degrees you won't keep the sun in the frame.
