[OT] Australian Eclipse Viewing?

[Mark]

Did anyone from the Southern Hemisphere manage to check it out?

Australia was eclipsed? Cool.

Only on the news. We got all the standard warnings about not looking at it directly.

It happened when I was leaving work and the world seemed just a little strange. The light was daylight level but just a little off. It was kinda cool.

but you HAVE to look at it directly, at least for a second or two...

 

[Hygric]

unfortunately it didn't make it to the east coast, so I missed it.

Ah well, better luck next time I guess!

 

[NoOneofConsequence]

Why?

The eclipse was quite late - 7:10 pm or later by Eastern Australian Summer Time, and only partial if you weren't in South Australia.

I missed seeing any part of it due to being busy rehearsing for a performance of the Messiah and the like.

Cheers!
