Who was doing the h-alpha webcast from bryce canyon. We really enjoyed the view of it while we waited for the clouds to part.

No clouds and I didn't set up my scope for pics as I had intended because of the wind. Saw 1st and 2nd contacts in white light. The black drop effect was very cool and obvious even to a couple of people to whom I described it who knew nothing about the transit. I remember not being able to see the black drop in 2003 with Mercury. Maybe we just didn't have enough magnification on it. Going back outside now.
