A mobile view of the partial solar eclipse.



A misty start to the day, with a steady drizzle of Atlantic rain..!  

It looked as if we had no chance of seeing the partial eclipse. 

Too many clouds in our village, we decided to go mobile.

Telescope, tripod and camera at the ready we headed off towards our local town of Cardigan.

A slight detour had us passing through the village of Boncath, where luckily the Sun was peeking through the mist.

In all, we were able to capture maybe ten images, in a one minute solar viewing gap.

Then old Sol was once again obscured by mist.

Luckily the gap in the cloud coincided closely with the maximum eclipse phase. 

Sol and Luna looked great together, dancing in the misty filtered sky.
