I actually lost sight of the Moon as it was setting behind a low range. The brightening twilight overwhelmed it both visually and in the Ranager 70mm at the same time.
10-15 minutes prior, there was good-looking contrast between the blood-red Moon and the royal-blue sky.
16 Degrees here, which is considered a little bit chilly by the locals.
Who blew the cloud in, was up and down all night and didn't have any breaks in it either. Can wait to see the photos to those that got it. Somewhat jealous haha
Perfect in Wollongong. No cloud, civilised temperatures, light breeze. There is one spot in my yard where we could follow the moon to the horizon. We could still see it as it set behind the escarpment at an elevation of ca. 5*, but only just. I took photos through my 15cm achro but I don't think much of them. I don't think I nailed the focus - lack of practice.
We enjoyed the morning, it's help charge the batteries. I know I'm preaching to the choir but it's a mystery to me why most people stayed in bed (none of my neighbours were up).
Basically still unprocessed... I just reduced them because they were huge, but I haven't worked on them yet.
I realize they are out of focus, but I was so excited/nervous and I definitely don't have any practice as all the other eclipses since I got into astronomy were completely clouded over, so these are my very first attempts. Mars is *completely* out of focus.
I will work on improving them next week or so, or maybe tomorrow. Hopefully it will be fun and not frustrating... I would be happy to have just a couple of good or at least decent shots.
Perfect views here in Adelaide plenty of people down at the beach enjoying the occasion. Of all my shots this one is a bit different although a fraction of a second too late. I hope the passengers had a nice view.
It was perfectly clear here in Wollongong. I had expected it to drop below the escarpment but managed to find a spot to view it until 6.30 when it dropped too low. Just looked outside and there is heavy cloud cover so we were lucky I guess.
