Total Solar Eclipse

[buster]

Any of our brethren Down Under have the pleasure of making their way to the path of totality for the solar eclipse this morning? Maybe light up a stick under cover of darkness on the beach . I watched a few live streaming feeds from Cairns and Port Douglas. Really spectacular. I've got to travel to see one of these live someday before dementia sets in.

I missed it, want to shoot myself.

I watched some streaming feeds as well. Would have loved to see it in person.

Watched it from sunny cloud free townsville.

We only had a 95% eclipse, but still totally amazing. The sun is still very bright for only 5%, never went very dark. A strange sense of dusk at dawn and east not west.

Sadly, Im yet to find the desire to start smoking at 0600. A once in a lifetime opportunity missed perhaps...

Worth chasing the next one near you.
