The path of total eclipse on March 9th, 2016 passed through 14 provinces in several islands in Indonesia. The rest of the island of 20 provinces would see the partial eclipse with different size obscuration of the sun. Here we encouraged partial eclipse observations in south Sumatera, it is important to have some experiences that eclipse can be predicted and explained in science. The solar eclipse can be observed using telescope as well as with other proper equipment (black polymer spectacle, Mylar and pinhole camera). The socialization of this event were conducted through an introducing workshop on how to observe solar eclipse properly on March 2nd, 2016 in ITERA hall, Bandar Lampung, Sumatera. Over 200 students from 18 senior high schools out of 39 schools and more than 100 university students were participated as well as the society in surrounding area. During the eclipse observation on March 9th 2016, more than 600 people from various institution joined to observe partial eclipse. The partial eclipse observation was done by using IOPTRON Solar 60 GoTo telescope with the CMOS-type monochrome detector ZWO ASI130MM. Total of 12702 frames were taken and several samples at different time were used to analyze. The images display on 640×510 pixels. We present a report on Partial Solar Eclipse observation at ITERA on March 9th 2016, which will discuss about the measurement of Earth-Moon distance using the images taken from a moment before the maximum until the 4th contact.
