Great to see other got a view of this, had visions of no one at all seeing it.
We arrived on site to a foggy scene, but after maximum eclipse, we got a few breaks and saw it, so happy enough given the weather,

But isn't it typical though, the only bad weather we've had all week and it would happen this morning, I'm at home now with the scope in the back garden, hardly a cloud in the sky and looking at the Sun with filters on.

but what a way to go. :)

In Dunsink we got a few moments when the clouds parted and revealed this first image at 10:16am and the second at 10:24 am. However, despite the clouds it was enjoyable and well organised with lectures and morning coffee, there was a great turnout.
