Glad the next transit isn't for 105 yrs ... Kandos School event
Even the astronomer royal of Kandos (me, first shot) couldn't keep the skies totally clear!
Only about 5% of the event was free of clouds, but with the help of the Kanos School's science and other teachers, we manged a commendable 'throughput':
at least 400 kids and dozens of adults saw the transit through eclipse specs, an 8x50 finder and a C9.25.
Quite an exhilarating and exhausting 6 hours!
I've done my bit for public astronomy, now for a well-earned beer!
