Total Solar Eclipse of November 13, 2012

[Cosmic Penguin]

Well I'm starting this thread to see if any member in Down Under (or South Pacific, though I found this unlikely) are going to watch this eclipse (either watch the partial eclipse from your home, or if someone here's lucky, catching a flight to Cairns to see the Sun going completely behind the Moon).

I'll start the thread with two links:

By launching a weather balloon carrying a wide-angle camera into the stratosphere above Queensland, eclipse hunter and amateur astronomer Catalin Beldea and her team were able to obtain their incredible video of the November 14 total eclipse from high enough up that the shadow of the Moon was visible striking Earth’s atmosphere.
