Eclipse from Perth

Hi all
I woke up at 4:45 to picture the event and this is my best shot

the sky was absolutely crystal clear.

Exposure 0.8sec @ 200 ISO with Canon EOS 400D and Orion 80ED on Eq5


Cheers, Andrew

Hi there,
I actually didn't resize it, I just cropped it.
I set up my gear the night before and I only left the mount out overnight covered with a tarp.

Thanks a lot everybody.

Thanks Andrew I was viewing the night before and toyed with the idea of leaving the gear set up but when you're in burbs it's not always a good idea.
