These stills are taken from the video. You can download a copy, which lasts for about 2 minutes, by clicking here. Duration of totality was about 23 seconds - and in the excitement I forgot to zoom in! Oh well, we will just have to wait until 2012 in Cairns ...

Taken with the old Minolta - with about 5 seconds to go to Totality. Notice the secondary image below the sun, presumably a refraction as the sliver of sun is inverted.
Handheld Minolta SLR - 5 seconds after totality. 1/2 second exposure on 400 ASA. The next two shots taken were shaky so you don't get to see them - I knew I should have borrowed that extra tripod! The shot at the top of this page is a detail from this photograph.
