Miracles apparently happen, since weather forecast was awfully cloudy
just couple days ago. We still had clear skies for the whole eclipse but clouds rolled in just 15 minutes past the eclipse. What a timing!
This was my first time seeing one live, and it was truly magnificent
sight to withness. You could see lunar mountain silhouettes along with
the sunspot AR 2303.
Unfortunately seeing wasnt good enough to
take closeups of the lunar mountains, but atleast I saw them briefly
with my telescope. These are stacks of 50 images to compensate
turbulence in atmosphere. Cant wait to see solar eclipse again someday!

| Partial solar eclipse 20.3.2015, you can see the sunspot AR2303 on the left. |

| This is as close as we got to totality from Kuopio, Finland. Only place in the world to see 100% totality is Svalbard and Faroe Islands. |
