True to my word I have given David Hough co-credit on the image. David's selfless act of publicly stating that he was staying away from this area resulted in an immediate improvement in our regions weather prognosis. We saw much of the eclipse with some periods of cloud giving us time for a much needed coffee break.

Thanks Houghy!

well Joe. I think a lot of others fell on their sword as well. i must applaud the imaging results that were broadcast live by NASA from the Griffith observatory, even though i was seething it did take the edge off
