As I write this, east coasters will be in the middle of observing this themselves. We always knew that this would be the day. Once the coma cleared the brighter part of astronomical twilight we were in with a grin
.
Drove about 50 km's south of me to get the Tararua Ranges (average height is 5,000ft or 1,500m) in the bottom of the field. That part worked but I copped a few annoying clouds that curtailed the end of the tail (is that where the word curtail comes from?).
Still I'm coming to grips with this Canon 10D now. All of the shots are on ISO 800, f/5.6, 20 -30 seconds, except for the Moon shot which was only 2 seconds.
Enjoy the moment folks. You won't regret or forget it!
Cheers, Coops.
