Hi guys,
From Mike, via Facebook (sorry, Mike, but hopefully you're too busy imaging to respond!)
The IceInSpace website is being crushed under the weight of the many thousands of people looking for info about the eclipse - so you may experience timeouts and database errors.
Please be patient - hopefully we can keep it up and running but no guarantees!
Thankfully Facebook is used to having much more traffic so I'll continue to post updates here.
Mike is updating via his facebook, and the IIS page on facebook as the night progresses. It's raining cats and dogs in Melbourne, so I'm having a grand old time watching everyone else's progress where it's clearing up.

to the new folks who have come to learn more about the eclipse, and for regulars, I'm guessing a little patience is the ticket - I'm sure normal transmission will be resumed soon
