Solar Eclipse down under

Interesting. Not sure how good this will be. Live streaming when it happens, total eclipse.

Brain fart moment though, time differences etc.

What are the UK timings?

[PeanutHead]

About 7pm ( 18.42 ) uk time, they will be using cameras from under water along the barrier reef which should produce some great shots.

Most of the world's population will be far from the eclipse's path. But anyone with access to the Internet can follow the action live, for several organizations will provide free webcasts of the alignment of sun and moon. Two such outfits are Tourism Tropical North Queensland and the Slooh Space Camera, which will begin their broadcasts at 1 p.m. EST (1800 GMT) and 2:30 p.m. EST (1930 GMT) on Tuesday, respectively.

There appears to be some disparity...

[jmorgan]

Starry night giving totality from Cairns around 06:38 if it is correct. That is local time for Cairns.

Looks like they have started streaming. Countdown showing 2 hrs 52 at 17:42 uk time.

Edit. Nuts. They stopped now.

Edit 2. Just showed a local clock at 4 am, 18:00 here.

There!

Cracking view of the corona.


Edit. Found some other feeds, the one I posted up the top was a pain.

Not long for us though we only get about 60%

Went to the one in Cornwall, overcast but the shadow was there racing across the ground and the birds going quiet, street lights coming on etc.
