Oops - missed the change of degree - about 81.4 arc seconds.

That will remind be why I never do mental arithmetic.

It's now drawing to and end and my Camera has taken around 700 shots. Can't wait to see it animated into a moving movie.. All things being OK with the exposures. Tomorrow will tell. Stayed clear here in Adelaide and was a great sight to see.. Will let you know how the movie works out and might even add a link to it..

Beats watching the rubbish on TV.. Get out and enjoy

I actually saw a good slice of the action here in Melbourne.
There were enough holes in the clouds to get a few good glimpses before it rained again.
Couldn't see any hint of red though.

Could see the reddish tinge at the limb in shadow through my 12x60 binos.

(No, I'm not looking at cloud in Victoria - am in NSW this weekend. Clear sky all evening. Great view.)

Great view here in Sydney. Viewing at 30x in my 70mm refractor there was a noticeable red tinge on the limb (the wife spotted it first!) with a blue-green colour toward the edge of the Earth's shadow. Got a few snaps, nothing good though.

Howdy all,

Just arrived home from the Rugby.

Had great seats for the rugby and a fabulous view of the eclipse too - killed two birds with one stone tonight. The match ended about the time of maximal eclipse ~9:40pm.

And Australia won too!

Very nice David, I like the hue along the shadow!
Did you use HDR technique?

I was hoping someone was going to make a small movie out of it. Im not into the photography side of thing but as I was watching it through the night I couldnt help but think that it would make a cool time lapse movie.
Please post a link when done.

Dave,

That's looking really good -- nice and subtle hues.

Looking forward to the final version!

Nice going Jen
Was that through the scope, or with a telephoto?

Nice going Jen! Probably could have jumped to 1/2000 sec. for this but it's usually a case of hindsight. Well done!

Thanks John as the night went on i ended up taken pics between 1/3000 and 1/2000 i was clicking different setting all over the place as most of my pics were taken through thin clouds
When i tried 1/2000 in the beginning it was over exposed
