Didn't see a heads up here so I thought I'd mention it.

In this weather?

I was just going to say that too. Bloody cloudy yet again :-( - might
get some sort of a view though, I can see the disc through the cloud
cover.

It started much earlier than stated earlier in thread, if penumbral
counts. Currently it is total, making Leo and Saturn very easy to spot.

Visibility here nigh-perfect - but just enough low haze to show that
there's an oscillating beam about 0.5 deg wide coming from a ground
point about SSE of here.


It would be better, though, a little later in the day and year.


It turned out perfect here too. Just for one a very nice view.

While I was out, I waved the Dob about a bit and got a lovely view of
M81/M82. Saturn was a lovely site too.
