Hi all, today was a bit of a struggle, 100% clouds and heavy rain and winds.
Had a slight break about 2.30pm when there was a gap with whispy clouds blowing over, so quickly set up and managed a shot of todays Sun.
Was a bit unsure about posting, but gives a record of todays spots...

Given the conditions it's a great result - i'm glad you did post it. Not seen any sun at all here today, although looks to have brightened up a bit now it's dusk...

Great disc, thanks for braving the weather for us! I managed a very quick 10 minutes through the PST at lunchtime but was nearly blown away and rain was falling within minutes.
