Just hoping someone may be able to help. I am planning a trip to the NT and WA early May and intend to observe the Annular eclipse near
Tennant Creek. I have received detailed information from a friend in the US who is an absolute wizard on this stuff and from what I can see the central line of the eclipse will travel just south of Banka Banka station.
The central line seems to pass directly over
Attack creek which is in Camps 7 NT site no 77. So my plan is to stay overnight at this spot. I have driven past this site on a number of occasions but cannot remember it or if its a suitable site.
I guess my question is, are there any eclipse wizard members of Exploroz out there who can help with further info or advice? Perhaps a more suitable location nearby.
As an aside I am new at observing and have no equipment etc to set up. We just have some basic lenses to view the eclipse so little or no set up time is required. Just get out of bed ,brew up ,and look up.
Regards
Jim
