Annular Solar Eclipse of 2009 January 26
 from Anyer (Java), Indonesia

To observe the 2009 January 26 annular eclipse, I went to Indonesia in Anyer on the Banten western Java coast. The weather was quite pleasant during my 3-day stay. Nevertheless some thick clouds did spoil annularity (should have removed the solar filter), but not as much as those in the Cocos (Keeling) Islands where it was raining.
You can use this solar eclipse calculator to compute the local circumstances of the eclipse, and the solar eclipse timer notifies the beginning of the various events. A time exposure calculator is there to help you choose your camera settings.
