2012 total solar eclipse from reef offshore from Cairns

Hi Guys...

This was my first solar eclipse...
From fear of missing it due to overcast clouds over land, I went to observe the eclipse on a pontoon off from the Cairns coast.

Unfortunately this meant i could not take my EQ5 mount and 8' SCT and was forced to take these shots with my celestron 70mm guide scope.....Heart breaking!!!!

these shots were taken using a Nikon d5000 camera.
I know these aren't as brilliant as some on here, but never the less I hope you still enjoy them....
