The
Great Oz Eclipse of November 2012 by Joe Cali Site 3B Road Camp A handful of tour members were up the road at site 3B. These included John Salini, Paul Muir Greg, Leeanne & Liz Bond Tony Dutton, Wendy Hodge, Joanne Dutton Gabi & Joerg Ackermann Melissa Hulbert and the Sydney Observatory Group (41 pax) were also there. John Salini Our convoy of observers went all the way to site 3B (tks Joe for the research in to that site) where the Sun came up alarmingly late, and well in to the partial phases, but compensated with a fabulous display. My biggest pleasure is the GoPro time lapse video which clearly shows the darkening (never really was totally dark) and then the retreat of the Lunar Umbra and advancement of Sunlight....quite compelling! Note : The Sun was supposed to come up alarmingly late - Joe |
