After hours of overnight rain and fog and posting online early this morning that the event would be cancelled due to weather, the clouds unexpectedly started to break up. Emergency astronomy! Grab the solar scopes! Richard Corbet, Muguette, Laurel, Betty, James and I raced down to converge on our Trail Bay site at the foot of Trail Ave. We were set up in minutes and got two telescopes, a Dobsonian and my Vespera on the Sun as it repeatedly peeked out of the cloud cover for the next hour and twenty minutes. Meanwhile Richard Mitchell was getting his solar scope up and running at home. Some people came down to our Trail Bay location to check it out after seeing our posts on our Facebook site, and others strolling along the seawall dropped in to check it out and purchase solar glasses. I saw a woman in one of the residences across from us trying to photograph it with her cellular phone and I took my cellular phone over to share the real time images from the Vespera with her and her husband. Laurel was approached by a 78 year old woman who’d never seen an eclipse before as she didn’t know how to safely do so: Laurel showed her the eclipse and the woman was so happy she cried. Our astronomers and the public all had a lot of fun and James got the photo of the day (see below).
