Amazing snaps everyone - Phil, Shah, Wayne, fungussface, Rob et al.
I was experiencing the eclipse from my backyard in Brisbane and was shooting every 10 sec to create a timelapse.
At the same time I was watching it on ustream broadcast from palm cove beach and was really excited to see the clouds clearing up just before totality.
At 7.40am when the sun went higher up and I realised that my tripod doesn't allow me a further tilt to get the sun in the camera's FOV.
I rushed around to get my other tripod but its head wasn't strong enough to hold the camera at the angle.
And I just got frustrated and forgot that I had a HEQ5 Pro which I could have used with tracking off so that I could capture the eclipse with rotation.
I don't even feel like processing my pictures as they are of partial phases obviously but because I couldn't even cover the complete partial phases.
Anyways the wait is on for the Annular eclipse in May 2013.
Keep the awesome images flowing in.
