Total Solar Eclipse 2008 - Russia

So, what are you getting your hands on ??

Yes, please *do* tell

Dave,

This is awesome and I am delighted for you. If possible, get an Argo Navis when the budget permits it and you will be able to do VERY serious solar system work with this fine instrument. Was this a local purchase or did you get it stateside?

Let's wait for Friday and the start of NEAF in the US and at which point in time I may just be able to spill the beans on my forthcoming "baby".

Just wondering was there any more news about this expedition?

I heard we'll here at this years WSP.

hi all,

i found there questions without answers about cost of such trip. One-way ticket Msk-Nsk cost as cheap as 3600RUR at s7.ru and more. Any way, 10 000 RUR for Msk-Nsk-Msk will be quite enough.

Accommodation. There are about 5 big hotels and many small. 24h with breakfast in *** will cost about 100euro. You can find cheaper variants as well, especially in campaign.

I making now internet project NovosibirskGuide.com - information about Novo for foreigners. There will be some eclipse information, as well. I read this topic and found out that info about climat, accomodation, places for observing is needed. You can ask me, if some other information needed and i'll write about it.
In the end of September the site will be ready, but, if someone plan his tour now and need more info, i can reprint texts there.

Unfortunately these hotels do not have any electronic means to contact them and it is both surprising and frustrating.

I can live with 100 euro no problem .... airline tickets to and from Russia are quite cheap and the total fare (two-way) will be under 700 euro (at least from Athens).

Is Seanie coming? How about my ex-buddy Carl?
