Skippy sky is predicting encroaching cloud during the eclipse from the north which is the southern edge of the big cloud mass that will possibly cruel Sydney and the central coast's chances.
If so, I will probably head out with girlfriend for a romantic twilight picnic and low key viewing and if I feel like setting up the mount, maybe a few snaps. I've been very ill for many weeks. Yesterday was my first day back at work. Still a bit weak and fatigued so I will need to take it easy for next few weeks.
There is an article on my web site about the eclipse with a slightly different approach to Mike Salway's excellent article.

Nice articles Joe, and pretty much confirms my 1st & 2nd Posts about what to expect just on moonrise, very little until towards Totality's end , , ,
Weather is looking rather dissapointing here at the moment, lots of cloud and a shower or two about, particularly off the coast, double Grrrr ... Going to be a last minute decision to head somewhere, if not, take my chances at home, arrwell, always another eclipse to be had in the future
Canberra does look good tho
and wiv the gurly, sounds like a win win to me
All the best...
