The point of greatest eclipse (totality phase during 5 min 20 sec) lies in the middle of the Pacific Ocean in between French Polynesia and Easter Island. Totality will last between 4 minutes 21 seconds and 4 minutes 46 seconds at those two locations, with very good chances to see the eclipse in the Tuamotu Archipelago and to a lesser extent from Easter Island. In Patagonia an eclipse flight will be provided to optimize the chances and at the same time add nearly a minute to the totality duration.
To observe the 2010 July 11 total solar eclipse, with my "Eclipse-City" associates, we offer tours in the Tuamotu Archipelago in French Polynesia, on Easter Island in Chile and in argentinean Patagonia for those with a tight budget.
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.
