Sorry, I don't know how to post pictures on Free Republic. I am graphically challenged, and failed finger painting at kindergarten. The Age's web page has some photos. i think I might go for a drive tomorrow night out to a nice quiet spot I know of in the country just outside the Melbourne Metro region. This event is astronomically very significant. Ever since I was a little boy I have loved looking up at the stars at night.

Thanks for the reply. Usually, there's always some freeper who will come to the rescue with photos. You're not alone in not knowing how to post pictures on FR (namely, me).

One of the reasons I love living in Florida is the clarity of the sky as there's little to no air pollution here. I'm in my back yard many times in the middle of the night (in pajamas and robe) watching wonderous meteor showers, eclipses and the like, in all their clarity. It's so awesome.

I did learn, however, to lie flat on a patio lounge chair to watch the sky. Otherwise, the neck holds out for about 5 minutes.
