My view was slightly better:
As you can see it was taken near maximum eclipse. -------------------- |

here in Toulouse the weather is fine but I had a frantic morning at work and no time to look at anything else than my desk and pc..

You should have told me it was clear skies in Toulouse, Paolo!!! Here, a mere 50km to the South West, it was cloudy so I had to drive 35kms to get to see it!
It was 9.40 local time so, way to late to see the maximun. Anyway, here it is:

Cloudy as well in Los Angeles, plus there was a good chunk of a planet obstructing the view...
 (Sorry for you guys that got clouded out!) -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

QUOTE (climber @ Jan 4 2011, 02:03 PM)  You should have told me it was clear skies in Toulouse, Paolo!!! I said that weather was fine, not that we had clear skies.  Hazy, with high clouds, but I think that the eclipse was enjoyable. If only I could!
