Very nice, Dave. I saw it through the clouds for a few minutes using solar glassrd and that sunspot cluster was so huge that I actually saw it without magnification. I could barely believe its size and thought for a moment that maybe an especially dense clump of clouds had got in the way. ------------------------------ On Thu, Oct 23, 2014 7:12 PM MDT Richard Tenney via Utah-Astronomy wrote:

Here’s some quick and dirty photos of the partial eclipse from the driveway observatory in St. George. Pretty cloudy. In the last couple of photos the roof line of my house is obscuring Sun. Roof line is at top of photo. The telescope reversed up and down and right and left, I believe. Obviously, it reversed up and down. I was too lazy to edit the orientation in iPhoto. Such is life. I think the clouds add a nice touch. I started a little late into the eclipse and my roof obscured the final minutes. I caught totality for my location, though.
