2009 - Operation Dim Sun,China.

9 of the group are traveling to China this year for the longest eclipse of their lifetimes. They are meeting up with some of our eclipse chasing friends from the UK and Sweden who shared the fantastic Libyan experience with them in 2006. As usual there will be a full report and a load of photos available to view here after they return. This is the first time that the two main main organisers of these eclipse trips will not be present. They will have to stay at home and bite their nails from the dubious comfort of their PC screens half a world's distance away. Let us take the oppurtunity to wish all those traveling clear skies and a safe return.

They are planning to watch the eclipse from a site in the Shangfan mountains so hopefully the weather will be obliging on the day. The whole trip will take nearly 18 days and they plan to see many sites during their stay.

On their return we will sort out the photos and post them up on the site.
