Terrific image Paul and excellent tips and advice too. Good luck on the big night! I managed to get a look last night through the clouds and sadly, a cluster of big gum trees blocks the horizon where the Moon will rise…right up to 50 degrees!

The last time I measured the horizon at that point, was a few years ago and boy, these suckers have grown despite the drought! However, the Moon should pop out of hiding at the edge of the clump, at around 30 degrees altitude, so I’ll at least get to see mid-totality. I don’t really fancy humping a lot of gear to find a nice E horizon – must be getting lazy eh!

Cheers

Dennis
