This time the luck was not on my side. Clouds obscured the corona most time during totallity.
Because of the bad weather we decided to go to Wuhan instead of watching the eclipse from the Shanghai area as planed. I read reports that the corona was visible some km north of the city of Wuhan, others saw it some km south of the city. I was near the city center and had to deal with a field of thick Altocumulus clouds, which allowed us to see second contact, but the corona did not make it through, despite of about 10 seconds. But it was very hard to see and not comparable to the beautiful eclipses 2006 and 2008.
What a pity ! But the weather is not really previewable! What was the time ? Do you speak german ?

It was a pity it was cloudy. I was there too, in the gardens of the Holiday Inn Riverside right by the Yangtze. Damn clouds.

Were you at JiangTan park? We were also at JiangTan park and captured an image of totality with only the inner corona at around 9:27am local time, there was about a 40-second window that the sun peeked through the clouds that we were able to capture it..^_^
