G'day all, in the morning tomorrow at 6:39 am we will have a near total solar eclipse at this location (Ingham, about 95 percent coverage).

A little further North it will be 100 percent total for about two minutes. Cloud is (unfortunately) expected though. It might be interesting. :yes: Regards, Felix aka catman.

G'day mate, no more up here for more than 200 years I believe! Regards, Felix aka catman.
 
Well it's just happened.

G'day all, only about 96 percent coverage here but the clouds cleared at the right moment. It became eerily very dim with a very dull soft light.

Pretty amazing. Totality would have been awesome. Radio reports from the zone of totality a little further north are spectacular. :yes: Regards, Felix aka catman.

BBC News Channel broadcasting live from Cairns, on and off, right now! '96%' looks like pretty-complete coverage, from 'Deepest Birmingham', UK!!

Cheers, og
 
I'm very eager for the next total eclipse to come across the continental US in 2017. First time since 1979. Where i live it will only be between 50 and 65 percent or so, but i'm quite willing to drive the 8 or so hrs to where it will be total and spend the day. Can't imagine anything cooler to see from the ground.

You should have gone North. A total solar eclipse is 1,000,000 times more impressive than a 95% one. Several of my friends flew and sailed from NM to Australia to see it and you were already there :D.

I'm still really bitter about being under the only cloud cover on the Mexican coast for the 1991 eclipse.

I'll be up in the Grand Teton area for that one.
