Observing and taking photograph from Bagan would be a lot cheaper and convenient than traveling to ShweBo. But there are many other interesting landscapes in Mandalay that you can combine with eclipse. Feel free to ask me if you need any info. Cheers! :) boothee *** Still can't manage to go and chec...

Hi boothee, I here in Malaysia already have 4 persons are ready for the trip to somewhere near Mandalay for the eclipse. If you could help us (including singastro forumers) on the local arrangement, that will be very great and we appreciated. It is my pleasure to help you the necessary arrangements...

Actually I'm thinking of observing the eclipse on a hot air balloon in Bagan, doubling the excitement, though the condition in the afternoon may not be suitable for air balloon flying. The length of annularity is 7m50s in Bagan, which is very long already, though the ring won't be perfectly central...

Hmm... should I go to Myanmar in 15 Jan or the Easter Island on 11 July? Decisions... decisions... maybe I will go both! Jiahao - Bagan is SW to Mandalay, which is away from the central line... maybe a location N to NW of Mandalay would be more appropriate? Visit both. :D January is the best time t...

welcome back boothee! [smilie=cheer.gif] Thanks! I've been busy with my Microsoft Exams in these missing days... Nice to have a rare total solar eclipse in your country.

Hi, Anyone wants to visit Myanmar in January 2010? There will be a Total Solar Eclipse visible from Myanmar in January 2010. I think, it would be a great idea to visit Myanmar around that period. So you can witness solar eclipse and enjoy the beauty of the country before or after that event. :) boot...

Hi!

Sorry for my late reply. I used 3x barlow lens for that picture.
