Are you watching this morning's solar eclipse?

Yes, the sun is completely eclipsed by the clouds at the moment and the rain adds a special something as well. Amazing...:D
 
Yip have my special "eclipse" goggles, but no sun so far, only clounds and rain, now I just look like an idiot, standing outside with these things on

I'm so used to looking into the sun it doesn't bother me anymore. I just put on my sunglasses and I'm ready to go.
 
My wife said that she has a perfect view in pta, lucky bast, here in sunninghill its just a marvelous bank of never ending clouds
 
NAH apparently they said it's going to happen next year as well ??? Can anyone verify that?

Tripod, check.
Solar eclipse, check.
Clouds, check.
Frustration, check.

Off the top of my head - there are about up to 5 solar eclipses a year, but only about 2 of them (if at all) may be total. They are not seen all over the world - so while there are going to eclipses, it isn't necessarily true that they be visible from where you are. Yes, it will cover part of Africa - not sure if that includes South Africa though. You may need to wait until 2011 for a partial in SA.
 
I missed the whole thing. Unless that brief period of what seemed to be cloud cover through the bathroom window was it :p:(
 
Missed. Was overcast yet again anyway. Think this is the 3rd or 4th eclipse in a row missed because of the weather :o
