hi, Thought some on this list might be interested. warm regards, Pradeep As every year we the members of Kutch Amateur Astronomers' Club are taking part in the Rann Utsav 2011 which organizes at the Kala Dungar (The Black Hills) and the white salty desert of Dhorado village in the northern Kutch (80kms from Bhuj city). This year the event will bring more fun and excitement because the total lunar eclipse is on the same day (10th December) and the view of the copper moon above the white salty flats of the desert will be undoubtedly breathtaking! There will be more interaction with the people who will be coming from outside the country. The local timing for the eclipse is as below: Moonrise: 6:00pm (IST) Moon enters Penumbra: 5:06pm Moon enters Umbra: 6:18pm Greatest: 8:05pm Moon leaves Umbra: 9:45pm Moon leaves Penumbra: 10:58pm Rahul Zota KAAC, Bhuj-Gujarat, India www.skygazersbhuj.blogspot.com www.jaincosmos.blogspot.com www.comethunting.blogspot.com +91 9898 176 028 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] __._,_.___ Reply to sender<rahul_zota@yahoo.com?subject=Re%3A%20Kutch%20Rann%20Utsav%202011%20plus%20Total%20Lunar%20Eclipse%21>| Reply to group<Astronomy_Activities_2009@yahoogroups.com?subject=Re%3A%20Kutch%20Rann%20Utsav%202011%20plus%20Total%20Lunar%20Eclipse%21>| Reply via web post<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Astronomy_Activities_2009/post;_ylc=X… Start a New Topic<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Astronomy_Activities_2009/post;_ylc=… Messages in this topic<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Astronomy_Activities_2009/message/69… 1) Recent Activity: Visit Your Group<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Astronomy_Activities_2009;_ylc=X3oDM… MARKETPLACE Stay on top of your group activity without leaving the page you're on - Get the Yahoo!
