This eclipse occurred centrally across New Zealand. The odds of us seeing it were low but I tried it anyway along with other friends from Lake Wairarapa located on North Island.

Members of our small group arrived in Wellington where we overnighted, then drove out to Lake Wairarapa.

Despite cloud we were able to get brief views of the eclipse process.

My written records were lost but at least I have some of the images above from the trip.
