This was the 45th eclipse of Saros 133.
Totality lasted 2 minutes 4 seconds from our viewpoint.
At third contact we were at 17.19753° 147.1035°E
This was a beautiful eclipse viewed from the Dawn Princess! The corona was quite symmetrical and compact.

The gathering masses - the ones in the chairs spotted the start of the eclipse a good 5 minutes after Phill announced first contact!
