Partial Solar Eclipse.

Eclipses and Transits in this country always seem to be plagued by cloud to some degree or another and today, this was going to be no different. The only full clear day I’ve ever had for one of these kind of events was the Venus transit back in 2004.

The day started well but banks of cloud slowly started to roll in. I missed ingress and egress completely but managed to capture parts of the transit during short gaps in the cloud as they worked their way past.

The following are a series of images taken at the time shown when there were sufficient gaps in the clouds to get something.
