Partial Solar Eclipse of 26 Jan 2009
The sky was still clear when I setup my equipment. But as soon as I was done, the clouds were rolling in… arrrrghhhhh…
Somehow, the Sun managed to poke out of the cloud on and off.
Around 5:20 pm, the clouds covered the western sky and that’s it… I never saw the Sun since then that day… ironically, the eastern sky was so blue and free from clouds! arrrrghhhhh…
See that strip of blue sky there? I was hoping that at least I can catch the end of the eclipse there. But as the Sun set, so did the clouds! arrrrghhhhh again…
Anyway, although I didn’t manage to see the whole eclipse, I’m still very happy because this was my first time of photographing a solar eclipse. It’ll be my training for this coming July TOTAL solar eclipse in China. Wanna join me?

we may change our plan to hangzhou. but we don’t need to meet in china, right? If you are in KL, just drop me a line n maybe we can meet up.
I’m currently not in Malaysia. So if you do change plan to observe in Hangzhou, it will be great if I can meet you there and join your observation team. I think it’ll be more fun observing in a group. :)
