Hello again,

I've finally got some pictures together from the partial solar eclipse on Australia Day. A number of ASWA members gathered at City Beach to observe the eclipse and share it with the public. It was a mostly clear sky, although we had a bit of cloud go over the sun in the last half hour. About a hundred people came and had a look through various PST scopes, a Coronado 40 and an old refractor set up to do a projected image. A very relaxed afternoon and it was nice to be able to share it with so many people.
