For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

Changchun Friends

a great way to get involved

This is a composite showing, from the bottom left, a couple of minutes from maximum eclipse as seen from Changchun, to 30 minutes before the eclipse ended. All images were acquired from the same location and merged in Photoshop CS5. The images were taken using a Pentax K-x DSLR with a 50-200 mm zoom, and a Mylar Solar Filter.

*NOTE* NEVER look at the sun with your naked eye. Always use an approved solar filter over the objective of your camera/binocular/telescope.
