Eclipse weather...

...not looking good. With 15 minutes to go it's completely overcast, really doesn't look like any improvement is likely. Also cold, damp, and miserable. But I've got my cameras ready and will keep an eye open for any break in the clouds. Still more than an hour to the maximum and I might get lucky.

25 minutes to maximum in Finland, nice clear sky.

How did it go?

Was still nice and clear at maximum (about 90%). Definitely looked darker than usual. Also the sky was an interesting color. Dark blue, not light or reddish like a sunset. Used a ghetto pinhole projector. It almost worked. Also borrowed another guys smoke glass to see it. No pictures though.

Shame - someone on a science list I post to got some very good pictures of about 90% totality using the "foil blanket over lens" technique but I can't link to it.
