>> Hi All
>> 
>> Just want to send an email to give you all an update of where we are with the live web stream of the Eclipse 2012 in Cairns & The Great Barrier Reef, Australia.
>> 
>> We have secured 2 x telescopes from the Astronomical Association of Queensland which will be fitted to 2x panasonic Lumix cameras for the video output.
>> 
>> One of the telescopes will be set up at Ellis Beach and the other at Palm Cove along side the hosted broadcast location where we will have special guests talking about the eclipse, comments to the public etc.
>> 
>> We will also have a camera on a boat on The Great Barrier Reef with a second host which we can cut to. 
>> 
>> The plan is to have a picture in picture of the partial eclipse the entire time while crossing to different locations and will have the few minters of totality as a full screen image cutting between the two telescopes if necessary.
>> 
>> I am also in talk to have a camera in a helicopter to cut to and also one on the palmer River on the Atherton Tablelands where there is an eclipse festival with 8000 people.
>> 
>> Elaine is checking on the option of having link to the ISS to get a few shots from the space station as it passes across northern Australia and if we're lucky we may see the shadow of the moon.
>> 
>> The hosting position at Palm Cove will be utilising a hard wired internet connection that will be a solid link and the others will have wireless connectivity, if these fail for any reason we will still have signal from the main telescope and hosting position.
>> 
>> We have spoken to Ustream and are going to use them to host the live broadcast, they have agreed to promote the event and we are looking to have the channel up and running with interviews, destination footage 2 weeks prior to the eclipse on November 14th Cairns time.
>> 
>> It would be great of you guys can start to promote the event and the destination and I will send some video and images to utilise. Once we have the "go live" dates locked away we can start to promote the webcast.
>> 
>> There will be a link on the official eclipse site www.eclipse2012.org.au pointing to the live stream.
>> 
>> I have contacted Debbie and she is helping me get clips and interviews from the visiting scientists and if you guys have any NASA merchandise you can send me to get our followers and fangs excited about the partnership it'd be great, hats, stickers, de-commissioned space shuttles…..Anything would be great.
>> 
>> Thank you all for your help and support on this project thus far, we here at TTNQ are excited about working with you and looking forward to making this event a world wide success.
>> 
>> Any questions please let me know.
>> 
>> Talk soon.
