This image was taken just after maximum eclipse. Serendipitously an aircraft flew right over it.
We missed the actual aircraft part but we did catch the contrails left by its engines.
Another person onsite on the sidewalk of Ellis Hall at Queens University in Kingston had a video that did capture the aircraft.
There are two visible sunspots and it was a very very cloudy day. We were lucky to see what we did of the event.
Perhaps 100 people attended with volunteers from RASC Kingston of Devon, Laurie, Susan, Kim and Kevin.
