I had a similar problem with cloud cover in Tasmania. However, the moon peeked through the clouds every now and again.
I'm just waiting to get into Imageshack so I can load up the gif animation I achieved by treating the eclipse images like they are consecutive slides.
I've managed to compress it into a 12 second gif animation. It's a little bit chunky.
Anyway I'll post a thread. Let me know what you think.
Oh, yeah and it was red.
