Now that's a real visual/snap thru the EP image in the clouds too.

Well done Pedro and which was far better than my attempt at even having a looksy, as was totally clouded-out here.

Cheers
Terry

Thanks Alexandra

We were not able to make a huge happening. The only exception was in the south at OLA - Observatorio do Lago Alqueva (about 80 people observed the conjunction)
