See what you mean about this observing lark. Enjoyed a nice walk to a good vantage point in the winter sunshine under clear skies, but the cloud came in to spoil the party. Fabulous sunset though in the opposite direction so not a completely lost cause - but didn't have my camera kit with me so another lesson learned. :cry:
Time to head home.
My Aussie sister reports that they had beautiful views of the eclipse right up to totality.
Edit: ...but a friend over Adelaide way complained that it was cloudy...
