Hi all,
We are organising an event for the upcoming total lunar eclipse on 2025-09-06T18:30:00Z.
The plan is to leave Chennai after lunch on Sunday and reach the venue by 3PM. We have a bunch of educational events planned. After dinner, we will start seeing the eclipse from an open ground and continue till about 2AM. We can have a brief rest after this and start for Chennai by sunrise.
Please read these before signing-up:
Now, since we expect a lot of interest for this, please note that:
- The venue can accommodate only 25-30 people.
- We will shortlist people based on the form responses and your interest.
- We will be inclined to select very few families due to the limited number of people we can take.
- Expect very few amenities in the venue. You will have to sleep in the open on a tarpaulin. This is not a fancy campsite with tents/mattresses for everyone. We will have clean restrooms though.
- Being a remote farm, expect insects, frogs, etc.
- Smoking, drinking, etc. are strictly prohibited at the venue. If you come intoxicated, you will be asked to leave.
- If you are not bringing telescopes or other heavy gear, please carpool with the other participants as the venue cannot handle too many vehicles.
- If you are coming with someone, please provide the same email address for all the related participants so that we know you are coming as a group.
- Venue details will be shared with the shortlisted participants. It’s a farm about 2 hours from Chennai.
If you are interested, please sign up in this link before 2025-08-28T12:30:00Z. We will confirm your participation by Friday evening.
