Another eclipse from Adelaide

[swannies1983]

Here's my attempt to image the moon through my 8" telescope on EQ6. It was all a bit rushed as it was hard to take any decent images through high and middle-level cloud. Focus a bit soft as they are 10-15sec exposures and I hadn't polar aligned the mount. I had to adjust contrast and brightness. I was only able to view the eclipse up to the start of totality before the clouds rolled in. Bring on the December eclipse!

Nice, high cloud would have affected focus, making it look slightly soft despite it being in focus.
