Bit of a spud photo. The kids were still awake, so we took them to the Eureka Centre to watch the eclipse.

I thought it was pretty good for a 3 second exposure taken handheld with my iPhone while getting bitten by mozzies - but if it's perfection you want:

Spoiler

Look elsewhere!

Pushing the little 135mm lens as hard as it can go.

Hmmm. Pretty overcast and generally shit for pornography up here. Took 179 shots though. Could have left the lens cap on for most. Anyway here are a couple that made it through processing from nef to jpg.
Teaser of what the sky was like for 93.047% of the time. The rest is was cloudy.

There were odd gaps in the clouds before the eclipse. Typically.

Odd bits stuck through the cloudage.

This is through light cloud which thankfully was fairly even so exposure was just ish ok.

as above.


No stand out shots but the clouds made it a bit eerie I guess.

I'd say I definitely qualify.
We often look out for the ISS and other astronomical events. Missed the orionids meteor shower recently due to poor weather though.
I think my fav so far was the transit of Venus in 2012.
