Hi everybody,
My name is Leo, I am on Tristan da Cunha and I will try to send some pictures from the eclipse tomorrow (89% here), which will happen from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m.
Tristan da Cunha is a volcanic island and has the particularity of being the most remoted inhabited island in the world: 270 people are living here, and internet arrived here only 2 years ago!
The settlement is located in the northern part on the island, and as the mountain is hiding the sunrise in summer, I will have to climb up to the “Base”, which is the mountain surrounding the village. Then, I will start to send pictures on my way back, around 8:30 a.m. from the internet café of the island (which is the only access I can get on the island).
I wish everybody to enjoy the eclipse tomorrow!
Cheers
Léo

Hello all,
Sorry for the delay, it has been a little bit longer than expected to come back from the mountain.
I will start now to send the pictures; I used a “stenopé” (sorry this is the french name I don’t know if it’s the same in englis) in order to be able to see the eclipse. It is very basic but it was really great!
I hope you will enjoy.
Cheers
Léo

Moonshadow webpage, is experiencing high traffic, and therefore can be difficult to reach.
Hopefully, it will be back soon.
If you want to download the gif animation previously posted by rupert, you can do so here (copied from Rupert):

I’m impressed, I have to say. Really rarely do I encounter a
blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me inform you, you will have hit the
nail on the head. Your
concept is excellent; the problem is something that
not
sufficient persons are speaking intelligently
about. I am very
joyful that I stumbled throughout
this in my search for one thing relating to this.
