and another...

Through a bit of luck and judicious planning I was on a bush work trip via Tennant Creek on Friday morning, so I took some odds and ends with me. My attempts at capturing the old Battery Hill headframe with the eclipse in the background were not successful, as I had not researched the technique in advance, however the effect (and the whole experience) was quite atmospheric so I have included one here for good measure. We even heard the bush birds begin to sing their end of day calls as the twilight descended. Then reverted to plan B with solar film over spotting scope at 20X in time to get the maximum. Tennant was just inside the path, so we picked up the full annulus with a little offset.

Cheers,

Andrew
