Got it written down on the calendar, should hopefully be good if I remember to charge the batteries on my camera...

Typical - fascinating celestial occurrance, and it looks like SE Aust will be blanketed in cloud - rain and thunderstorms predicted ..... damn!

Glad I took my machine for a fly yesterday Dave. Was perfect. Got a good hour in. Probably the last chance now before I come to Australia for Christmas looking at the weather...

Bit of cloud rolling in over SE NSW now... bugger.

Did anyone see it in Aus? I totally forgot about it and did not even get up. Was apparently visible for a short time over Auckland then it clouded over.

Could've if I woke up. I woke at 4.00 to see a bright moon shining through a bit of wispy cloud into the bedroom. Oh well I saw the previous one anyway..........

 

 

[Guest Glenn]

was working and thought of it a couple times but we were so busy that I didn't get a chance to take a look, although it was cloudy here. Forgot to look again when I got home about 3:30am too

Yep I saw it nice and clearly... as it was starting there was some cloud but it all went away for a great view... Heres some of the pics that I took...

I had a camera club awards and Christmas function at 8pm last night. It had already been raining before I left home, many arrived quite wet through. Still raining when we finished at 10:45. Club members had intended to photograph the event. Heavy downpour through the night, still raining at 8:00 am today. Break in the clouds about 2:00pm. Oh well, better luck in 2014.

Thanks for posting the photos Dazza. Was heavy cloud, rain and thunder storms were I am, so it was totally obscured.
