Total Solar Eclipse 2008 - Russia

Apparently there's more than one: www.allsiberia.com/novosibirsk/pubs.htm

Following up with the same link, there are at least four hotels - www.allsiberia.com/novosibirsk/Hotels.htm - with three of the four having over 200+ rooms which is encouraging (?) for us.

However, not a single reference if they have internet access or not.

Also, no email addresses are specified so that we can inquire about accomodations and pricing.

If they're showing cricket, I wont be staying too long in there.

Even if its Ireland? Do, do, do the funky chicken...!

Not sure what the Ferret is though

I'd need alot of pints in me first :lol:

Dave,

Looking at your signature I note a 20" Obsession ... awesome dude!!!

Can I assume it will be used for hires high power lunar/planetary work and, if so, what camera did you have in mind to go with this wonderful scope?

Anyway, many congrats on the new toy.

I have a killer scope coming my way as well over the next couple of months ... serious aperture, serious focal length and most certainly serious optics!

Hi Anthony,
This scope is purely manual so imaging through it is very difficult as Saturn goes through the toucam field view in 2.5 seconds. Here is a post for the Dob

We managed to get a quick one of Saturn through it.

to be honest, for now I'm going with non-imaging with this scope.
So, what are you getting your hands on ??
