I am wondering where you are in Gippsland as I am a fellow (East)Gippslander.

Thanks Andrew - Latrobe Valley. Might I have met you at Barry's at Perry Bridge?

Congratulations.

Thanks Joe, but mine doesn't have the fine detail that you've teased out. I virtually always shoot in uncompressed 14 bit RAW, so there has to be some compensation for 30 Mb files!

Thanks Barb - without any scientific approach to timing, it was almost pot luck that I got that shot. The whole totality seemed like it lasted less than 10 seconds (even though it was about 2.5 minutes)

Thanks Pete - any excuse to go to the polar regions! It will be an eclipse that's hard to beat.
