First Contact Cairns 2012 Total Eclipse

Hi all,

Being out at sea meant that there was a good chance of clearing alot of cloud above land, nevertheless there was still plenty of cloud over the horizon.

This was the first glimpse of the sun rising over that cloud. On the top left edge you can begin to see the moon creeping across the sun.

This is not the actual moment of first contact but close to it as far as seeing conditions permited.
