No joy at all in Sydney-totally clouded out.

Wow, fantastic eclipse! Clouds have cleared in Adelaide so now will view the partial phase.

Looking forward to seeing some footage of this as the central coast was/is clouded out...

/me slips eclipse glasses back in drawer for another 200 years...

The ABC coverage was terrible. Video kept breaking up. The eclipse looked really nice though.

And the clouds parted like the Red Sea! Wow so lucky. Rain and cloud covering sun 5 mins before totality then managed to see it all. At Machans Beach north of Cairns airport. Got some good images too.

Perfectly clear here in Cootamundra, noticeable dimming in sunlight, very cold in the atmoshere though, contrails everywhere.

Cheers

Totally clouded out on the central coast.....I had hoped to give the binos a go with the filters I made for the transit of Venus....unfortunately not.

Absolutely awesome! Clouds cleared just before totality at Yorkeys
Incredible views!

Perfect timing south of Cairns. We watched at the mouth of the Mulgrave (munchero inlet). Saw a good lead in and most of totality. Motor on our boat broke on the way home. See? Perfect timing!

Pretty good in Auckland, NZ. Took the 80mm with Baader to work and had a bit of an 'Outreach' event. Maybe 50-60 people. Used the 15mm GSO Superview EP,. Made it smaller but clear and easier to view and track. (I usually use the 9mm TMB on solar)

Clouds were come and go but plenty of good viewing which let those without glasses etc see it through dimmed visibility. Some awesome sunspots to make it a bit interesting. Got some big 'Wows !!' and slightly confused looks as well. Temperature dropped and the wind rose. 'Fascinating' was the most usual comment.

Awesome, now I've got to lug the scope and tripod a couple of kilometers up the hill back to the car tonight. No local parking

At Palm Cove. It blew clear 10 mins before totality... And was absolutely awesome. Utterly breathtaking!!!

The Mulligan Hwy proved to be a superb location and we certainly weren't alone - enjoyed an incredibly clear night of observation prior to the dawn finale. So very glad we made the trip to leave the clouds and rain behind
