March, 2006

Douglas Aalseth was on the Costa Fortuna to see the eclipse from the Mediterranean. The shirt is from tour organiser Royal Cruise Adventures of Colorado	Janet Fisher was with the Mayhugh Travel group on the Costa Fortuna

Marco Bastoni was on the Costa Fortuna.  You can see his photos on his website www.astrofoto.it

Stefano Spagocci, also on the Costa Fortuna, was one of several observers from Gruppo Astrofili Cinisello Balsamo of Milano, Italy

Elisabeth (pictured) and Vladimir Martinko were on the Costa Fortuna.  The cruise itinerary was changed close to sailing date, and the places listed were visited in reverse order

Dirk Ewers of Germany, in China for the 2008 eclipse (see his photos at astroewers.de)	Neil Bork was in Libya for the 2006 eclipse.  This picture was also taken in China

Tony Crocker saw the eclipse at Saloum, in Egypt near the Libyan border	John Armagh was also in Egypt in 2006.  This picture was taken in China in 2008

Michal Feuillie was in Libya in 2006.  The  picture is from China in 2008	Ralph Chow, of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, also photographed in China

Priscilla Hopkins was in Libya.  Her shirt is a different-coloured version of the one above	Dudley Hopkins was also in Libya.  He says the sun image makes this an eclipse shirt

          
Joe Malnar saw the eclipse in Niger, near Bilma, towards the border with Chad.  Joe and Maryann Ott,
who was also at Bilma, told me how their group travelled by jeep with Touareg guides for a week across
the desert, camping under the stars

the Francophonie Sports and Arts Festival in Niamey in 2005, and put the totality image on the back

                     
Gisala Koestner (photographed on the Costa Fortuna for the 2009 eclipse) was in Turkey in 2006
