re plane

Now that Rob,is a excellent question,I have been thinking about this quite a bit.May be Dennis and ChrisM and others might like to have a graph or similar to let us know.

Thanks all for the comments,input and support,I have been rather busy with many emails lately and have not had time to 'crunch the numbers'.

Just a hunch,on Robs question- I reckon about 600 metres either side.for the full 'Planar" eclipse.If I was at the local saw mill about 3 kms with gear set up ,I feel it would have been a "graze".

Finally,we start to see the image in Australian Newspapers today in QLD
"Courier-Mail" page 7,and a good little write up,no mention of the "L" word.

Any others around the country-let us know.

re-the "famous" bit-well its almost a little embarsing,I just applied my skills in a tradesman like manner on my observations which I had aquired over time.

Did my calculations and did the job.Those last few seconds though-no amount of dry runs could prepare for that!but it all went as I had planed.

Looking forward to my next missions! (if this cloud ever goes)

Cheers Chris
