Thanks Houghy, great thread.
Without a doubt, it has to be the 2002 total eclipse in Ceduna. It was dark cloud all afternoon, and then as the ecplise started, the cloud began to clear but still created only short viewing periods as the cloud scooted across the sky. Then, 4 seconds before totallity, the sun moved out from the clouds and gave us a spectacular view for the next minute. The 32 seconds of totallity was awesome!
It is at the same time the most spectacular and most sublime moment of my astromony adventures.
Cheers
