Thanks Marc. Port Douglas for me will primairly be a holiday! Scuba-Diving on the reef, eat, drink, be merry!
If it's clear on eclipse morning I'm pretty sure I'll be using a 500mm F4 Canon lens on a 5DMkIII.
Not tempted to go very narrow, as the corona is the main show IMHO.
The game-changer for me is Losmandy's StarLapse..which means I can use heavy cameras and lenses but not have to cart half a tonne of gear across the country. My Lybia rig did not track. The Port Douglas one will have: lower noise, better res, and will track...so all things being equal, should deliver sharper results.

Ta Leon. BTW that Canon 500mm is a pearler! I promise to look after it.

Well, I have to admit, I have sat at quite a few bars over the years...and raised quite a number of beers as a result.
