We were able to see the final 10 minutes of the partial solar eclipse on March 29 after some of the clouds cleared and then returned. We were at the highest elevation in our neighborhood in North Branford but the trap rock quarry limits the view even if there weren’t clouds. I set up the Seestar just after 6:30 am not expecting anything with the eastern view having low clouds but got lucky near the end.

Our view of the solar eclipse at dawn was about as fleeting as it could be. We went to West Wharf in Madison and watched a bank of clouds on the eastern horizon, hoping that a hole would appear so we could see the Sun. This did not happen, but just as the eclipse was about to end at around 7:05, the Sun appeared above the clouds. Through solar binoculars, we could see a small but definite flattening of the left edge of the Sun. This lasted for 2 minutes at most. This picture was taken with a Canon T6i camera at a focal length of 86 mm. If you look very closely, you can see a tiny bite of the Moon on the left side of the Sun.

Coming home from work, I lucked out when I noticed some possible clearing. I headed to Hamden ice rink above high school. This is part of what I observed.
