Cirrus filled the sky the first part of the night. Then they started to break and let me do my job, although not in the best conditions. Delta Velorum was in eclipse at the time expected and the eclipse also finished (actually it hadn't totally finished yet when dawn broke) at the predicted time. Did someone catch the beginning???
