A few hours left before the Moon will cross its path with the Sun. The totality of the eclipse will be just a few degrees above the horizon and a cruise ship is the perfect location to observe it. I will be on the Costa Pacifica streaming event.

I will be using a Seestar S30 PRO centred on the Sun, you can follow the streaming from here: https://dub.sh/XtWWWGy

For the wide angle streaming, I will be using a DJI OsmoAction 6: https://dub.sh/gNHZeQn
