Hi Guys

Well done to all who braved the wee hours of the morning and especially the gale force winds in Brisbane. The Moon began to set behind our roof top around 3:00am, so I rushed upstairs into the study and poked the WO 80mm out the window on a tripod with Pentax *ist DS attached. It was a bit clumsy, but I managed to grab an image every minute for 60 minutes, so will try to make an animated gif later today.

Yawn.

I got up to let the pups out at about 3.30 - clouded over.... so I was pleasantly surprised when my eclipse alarm went off at 4.45 and it was clear in the west..... Beautiful..... better than last years IIRC....

Wow very nice shot Glen.. hope you don't mind, I ran it through Noiseware and resized it. Very pretty shot, I wish I had a west horizon like that!

Thanks Mike.
My wife Julie took the shot.

Nice shots from everyone posting pics. We had strong winds, almost horizontal rain, cloud (usually comes with rain), and no power. Definitely not good weather for an eclipse!
