Eclipse from Palm Cove
Setup at 5:00am on the beach at Palm Cove. The cload cover was patchy. Missed the first 15 minutes of the eclipse due to cloud. From then on, the eclipse was spectacular...Palm Cove really turned it on...
While I did not take my solar telescope and mount, I did have my trusty Canon 40D with 250mm Telephoto, Tripod, Thousand Oaks Filter and other paraphanalia. Luckily, through the many cloud breaks, I was able to capture the complete eclipse from start to end, except the first 15 minutes. Totality lasted about 2 minutes, there was great clapping and cheering during totality. The beach was full of tourists, literally thousands. I will be returning home in about a week, so probably will not be able to post photos until then.
