Thirroul Beach at Flannagans creek. The ducks refused to get in the frame. I forgot to change the stop and the exposure and then the moon was gone as you can see in my Beginners Astro post.

Ah ha, yes I know where you mean but I've rarely walked around that area. I was trying to think of places with pines. It'll be a couple of days before I process my imaging attempts.

No point doing much processing with my shots. I had a tracking mount in the car I was just too hasty to set it up. The interesting thing I found in an eclipse being new to that , was that the moon is so much darker you can use slower shutter speeds and get more stars which is normally very hard. So using my tracking mount would have been perfect. The hard part then is foreground until that moment the sun comes up which could have been perfect. I look forward to seeing some great shots from some more experienced eclipse photographers.

Nice shots, It was a great mornings viewing and imaging. You must have been looking just about over Panorama House from that angle.

The moon set a little south of West right now , maybe 15 degrees off magnetic , so I think Panorama is to the right. Can't see it in those shots. It was an exceptional morning except for a little smoke and surprisingly warm.

Mars was great luck I don't suppose we will see again for a while.
