Beautiful report. The full moon peeked out from behind rain clouds and played hide and seek for a bit before the clouds took over. We're in a rainy "dog days" pattern (ugh). I'm praying for clear skies for the upcoming eclipse here in the States.

Hi Reggie

Hope the weather stays good for your eclipse. In 1999 my partner and I were in France for the solar total eclipse. We saw the diamond ring and totality rushing across the fields towards us. We heard the birds getting ready to roost. The temperature dropped. Then the clouds obscured the sun's disc and we never saw totality and the corona. We enjoyed the experience but we have always been saddened by missing those vital two minutes.

Hope you fair better.  Let us know how you get on and post a photo of totality for us. From our location in the UK and if we are lucky we might get to see a tiny bite being taken out of the Sun just as it sets.

Best regards from George in Lowestoft.
