I didn't feel like digging up the old thread....

 

I'll be in my own total eclipse. I'll be asleep.

 

No worries, you need all the beauty sleep you can get.

I'll try to get some pictures for you....and here I thought I was lazy.

 

Won't be able to see much from here anyway.

It'll almost be time to get up anywhoo, so maybe I'll look out and see if there's anything worth seeing

 

Dang it, I'm always on the other side of the freakin world...

 

so jamz, what time is the best part gonna be for Central TZ?

 

4 a.m. to 5 a. m.

 

In the Pacific coast of the US, the total eclipse begins at 02:52:00 PDT and ends at 04:22:45 PDT, with the moment of greatest eclipse at 03:37:22 PDT.

Well, I figure that is "California time" (PDT), and since they are "2 hours behind" us, I'd say that it would be best at about: 05:37:22 or 5:37 AM.

If I am incorrect, please correct me.

 

AWESOME!

...my pictures didn't come out though.

 

I found a link with a picture.

This is exactly what it looked like too:

Niiiice.

I caught it a tad bit late this AM...it was already sunset red when I finally got to a spot where I could see it.

I can say this, it was worth getting up for. I dig this kinda thing. Whens the next solar eclipse due?

 

Sept 11, but only visible to southern hemisphere

followed on Februyary 21, 2008 and August 1, '08

 

Charlie, did you take those??? If you did, with what camera, lens? The best I have is a 70-300mmUSM-IS for my Rebel. And I wasn't steady enough on top of that.
