Love your photo. Had planned for 2 years for this event, but in the end a medical matter had to take precedence, and then friends helped, but nothing could be done about the clouds. Now enjoying what you and others managed to capture. Thanks for yours.

Thank you Barry, sorry to read that you missed out due to a medical issue and those pesky clouds. Usually it's us here in WA that gets clouded out for celestial events.
We were lucky here as there was a banded layer of smoke haze above the horizon and we didn't have long to image as they were already low in the sky. I was lucky to get what I did, seeing wasn't the best.
