Beautiful total eclipse tonight. Not a single cloud (rare in summer). Even saw a bright meteor flash underneath.

GSO 10" F4 Newtonian, full spectrum Canon 1100D, 3 seconds at ISO 100. A few stars can be seen around the Moon.

Thanks Andy. Clouds suck.



Thanks Andrew!



That's a pity Dunk. Looks like a lot of places were clouded out.



Thanks Peter! It was the only clear night for the last 6 months! Astronomy has been on long term hold here the weather has been so cloudy.
