I had made a pinhole camera to watch it, and at about 4:05pm, I managed to see a tiny sliver of the sun shaved off. If you look hard, you can see the slight flattening of the sun's disk at the four o'clock position. It was actually at the ten o'clock position, but since I'm using a projected image, it's upside down and backwards. <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/15427134509/> But hey, doesn't my Pana-Leica Summilux have great bokeh? I also used a 300mm lens stopped down to f/22 to project the sun's image onto my jacket sleeve. That looked better, but I couldn't photograph it. :-) I await the vastly better pics from those of you from sunnier climes. --Peter
