1477429 2021-05-27 04:51:00 I got one clear shot around 5.40pm but nothing during the eclipse.

I think I inadvertently nudged the mode dial whilst moving the camera and tripod in the dark :(

1477430 2021-05-27 06:02:00 What I find hard to understand is that there was a full moon and at the same time there was a king tide where we were at Waihi Beach.

I was taught at school that the moon controlled the tides and the moon's gravity pulls the sea water toward the moon creating a low tide. When the moon moves away there is no gravity so no pull and so that results in a high tide. Is that not correct?:help:

But no. I did not get a shot as I was asleep in my bed.:)

1477432 2021-05-27 06:54:00 The ocean bulges directly under the moon causing a high tide, and also on the opposite side of the planet for a reason I forget. Or to put it another way towards the moon is up, or higher.

I imagine that without the counterbalancing effect the effect might be similar to a hammer throw, or a giant particle accelerator. Hang on, guys, it's a hell of a ride ...
