I didn't realise at the time (I found out this morning thru someone) that in Brisbane although we got totality there was a tiny sliver not being covered. And there I was scratching my head saying "what's taking so long" lol  . Looked really pretty with that sliver tho. And well.. if the information I was given was wrong, then I guess I missed that final moment. |
Thanks Suzy! From what I can gather we were lucky on the south side of Brisbane as a friend at work who lives at Albany Creek saw nothing! I kept running to the front of the house which faces south where I could see that sucker hole coming and I think it gave us about 40 minutes of uninterrupted viewing. By my calculations there was still about 5 minutes to go until totality when the clouds returned for the night hence the sliver of light on my image.
As Maxwell Smart would say - "missed it by that much!"
Cheers,
