The sun and moon just before the second contact. After this, before the crucial total solar eclipse, the clouds on the lower right
I covered it up.

Corona in the clouds during a total eclipse??
If this cloud wasn't there, we would have been able to see the coronavirus.
You should be able to see it through the gap on the left.
It was probably visible from the direction of downtown Port Douglas.
This time, the shadow of the umbra on the ground was small, so the sky during the total eclipse
It was as bright as moonlight.
I didn't understand the shadow cone or the shadow band.

The conditions around Cairns were quite poor, and according to information available up until the time of the total eclipse
It rained a little, so we couldn't see the partial eclipse of the sun.

Just now, at 12:40 (local time), I received a call from a member of the Cairns tour. At the observation site at the golf course on the outskirts of Cairns,
From the partial eclipse just before the total eclipse, I was lucky enough to see a total solar eclipse and corona for two minutes through a gap in the clouds.
Apparently they were able to observe it. The telekinesis of 3,000 people. Including before and after.
The sun seemed to be hiding behind the clouds.
