Just got home from Cairns.
I was about 150km north west of Cairns. We had a great view, with little effect from some very light high cloud.
One of the most amazing things I've ever seen. It's quite surreal when you take the eclipse glasses off just before the first diamond ring. Before that you can only see an orange crescent. When you take them off your confronted with an almost complete corona. I used some binoculars during totality and the prominences were amazing. Over before your know it unfortunately!
The timing software worked perfectly, although my focus was off by a tad... Makes it easy to justify going to another eclipse! I'll post a couple of photos when I've recovered.
