Justin got one look through a brief gap in cloud cover.
Numerous clouds and low haze impeded my observations; so the variations
I saw may be caused by meteorology rather than astrophysics.
Does anyone know how long each eclipse lasts? With an orbital period of
about 1.5 hours I expect "not very long"!
cheers,
