Solar Eclipse

So T is over in WA to see the total solar eclipse in or near to Exmouth.  Locally we get the partial (21%) eclipse version.

Time to bring out the solar projector box again.

...or, it would have been, but this is Melbourne and at about 1230 a high cloud cover rolled in.  

So all the ideas of getting a pic of the full solar disc, the start of the partial eclipse, and then another at the full 21% went right out the window.

So yeah.

Anyway, here's a photo from T of the total eclipse.

Beautiful.

Next Australian Total Eclipse is July 22nd, 2028 and it rolls right across Central NSW and Sydney.  Time to star planning for that.
