Annular solar eclipse tomorrow

Post by Faithfree » Thu May 09, 2013 12:51 pm

Aussies and Kiwis only - private show. Banana-benders will probably have the best view. Partial eclipse only for me at sunrise - if I can get up that early, and it looks like it will probably be cloudy.

The best solar eclipses happen at night.

But they are very rare.

Nup. Was still in bed. I'm pretty sure I was awake at the time is should have been happening, but didn't notice any weirdness about the light.

I was expecting a mate of mine who usually captures pretty good eclipse photos to get some. But he forgot. :doh:
