Hey everyone Today the 4th of December was a big day, as you probably know it was a total eclipse today and you know what, it sucked! The weather the day before was great and we thought yeah, we're gonna get some nice photo's. Me and a friend drove out to and observetory and it had a live sattelite uplink with the place in the umbra(musinna). We drove out this morning at 05:54 to make sure we get a nice spot. To our disappointment there was a thick blanket of clouds and almost no wind! We were just outside the umbra and was told that we would have a 90% view. The clouds are still here as I am typing 17:09(CAT) and now only is it sort of starting to clear up. I think I got about 4 photo's in total, when there was an open patch of sky. Apparently we actually got to see more of the eclipse than the people in the umbra because they were totally clouded out and so was the rest of the path of totality. I sat the whole day yesterday making filters of and putting different colors in and now that was a real waste! O well, only another 28 years to wait! Then I'll be 43, so I think I'll still be here.
Cheers Neil
