low res/quality of a whole heap to come.
loving it

Beautiful

Wish I could've gotten pictures like that. It went under the horizon & we had clouds

monoxide · #3 28-08-2007, 08:46 PM

certainly a sight to behold

Ingo · #4 28-08-2007, 08:48 PM

Wow, I have to comment again...absolutely beautiful again!

I'm jealous.

Just before totality Launceston Tasmania, wasn't all that happy with the focus.

h0ughy (David) · #6 28-08-2007, 08:48 PM

nice i havent downloaded mine yet - hope they are focused

monoxide · #7 28-08-2007, 08:52 PM

yeh between focus and exposure time, it was very very difficult to capture anything the way that you want it to be seen.

time to put the camera down and get the ol eyeball on it,
lots of processing to do tomorrow!

Tamtarn · #8 28-08-2007, 09:05 PM

Well done TJ. Great images you've captured there and sounds like more to come. Will look forward to seeing them.

monoxide · #9 28-08-2007, 09:14 PM

well thats all for now,
ill probably re-process tomorrow as im not happy with a couple

davidpretorius · #10 28-08-2007, 09:24 PM

pleasurable evening spent with the family and lovely moon

Nice pictures !

greetings from Germany

Another From Adelaide...
Didn't think it was going to happen for me - thick cloud until totality.
Nowhere near as good as monoxide's (are those taken with the 6" Newt?).
Those are amazing!
Cheers all - I could here excited gasps coming from backyards bordering mine when the clouds went.
Doug

ED80 1x15sec exposure @ iso400

Agree - pic 1 in post 3 is a wee cracker!!!!

Tamtarn · #17 28-08-2007, 10:19 PM

Nice shot Doug.

Glad the clouds cleared in time.

As we are on the same timezone, I thought I would just let you know what a great night we had here. 200 odd people and 4 scopes by the Arafura sea... Magic !

Thanks guys - how did you go?

monoxide · #20 28-08-2007, 10:29 PM

thanks guys,
Doug, pics were taken prime focus with the 6"
id like to have taken more shots but my scopes were commandeered
i still have a mass of raws to go through but i'd say a majority of them are duds.

certainly some nice images coming out of the woodwork!
