Thanks Matt, there is a nice Ice In Space community story behind this image.
It started with Mike (Iceman) and Dave (H0ughy) planning to photograph the total lunar eclipse of 16th June from Brisbane, whereupon I felt a twinge of guilt that these guys were flying in from NSW making a huge effort to capture this event.
For my part, I was going to watch the latter stages from the comfort of our study window, but the crushing guilt I felt due to these cross-border raiders, compelled me to meet up with Mike and record the eclipse in the wee hours of the morning.
Then, along comes Tom who posts that an ISS solar transit is to take place some 20kms from home. Friday dawned a perfect day and with so with no excuses, I headed out and managed to record that event too.
I suspect that without the help, motivation and cajoling from this community, these events may have passed me by, so thanks to my extended Ice In Space “family” for stimulating my interest in recording these two most recent and dramatic events.
Cheers
Dennis
