Abstract
In March 2016, I will travel to the Indonesian island of Sulawesi to do some scuba diving. All going well, I will then travel to the city of Palu in central Sulawesi to observe and photograph the 2016 total solar eclipse. Will I break my recent run of three clouded out eclipses? Will the organisers of the Palu expedition overcome the logistical and geographical problems and find a cloud-free location in the equatorial jungle of Sulawesi? Will all of my equipment work this time? You will have to attend this talk to find out the answers to these questions.
