It's 1 AM local time and we just got back from eclipse site. Weather started well but rapidaly deteriated and by 10 minutes to second contact I was sure we were going to miss it, but by the grace of unknown forces it cleared 30 seconds before totality and we saw it all.

The eclipsed Sun projected on my daughters Lydia and Manon's tee-shirt with a 80/480 refractor.

We were observing the eclipse whith my old binoculars. It was interesting to see the moon gliding in front of the sun. The sun had no spots, but suddently there were one ore two big spots and they were walking!! Camera: canon PowerShot A550

Partial eclipse is not as awesome as total, which by the way I have never had a chance to see live. But it was still very interesting to observe.

The eclips could be seen sometimes through the clouds. But the weatherconditions in the east part of Holland were far from good. Nikon D200, 200 mm. lens. This is a combination of 6 photo's.
