Conditions were very cloudy! - so much that I could not use my 500mm Maksutov

with full aperture solar filter, or any camera with solar filter.

Using the Sony Digital Camcorder - without any filter, saved the day!

The clouds provided an opportunity  to play with  silhouettes of trees 

and even a bird.

Biggest advantage of the conditions - no time wasted on fiddling with 

equipment and forgetting to enjoy the experience.
