Annular from south/sunrise limit

Perfectly clear view of the rising sun in full annular eclipse. I was intentionally located at one of the extremities of the path.

Very cool Geoff and I can see why you located at this point. A great demonstration of the effects of refraction.

Awesome images Geoff! Best I've seen from this eclipse I think! The refraction effect in the second one is amazing.

Cheers,
Stephen

[iceman]

Just amazing Geoff. Stunning.

[geoffsims]

Thanks everyone! Was certainly a unique opportunity.



That's actually the *full* disc! The lower portion of the Sun has been refracted up, essentially making a very squashed image. If you look carefully around the edges, you can see that it does not continue down behind the horizon.

That looks absolutely amazing, very well done Geoff. Your images are always inspiring.

Awesome Geoff! You already know that I love these but just had to say it again. Your dedication truly paid off.

[geoffsims]

Thanks again Rolf/Greg - really appreciate the kind words!

Terrific shots Geoff. Where was this?

It looks like you went to great trouble to catch these. Well done on your hard work.

Greg.
