Solar eclipse was this morning 
 
Note that the eclipse was this morning first noticed at about 10:20 (local) and 
lasting to about 12:00 (local).  The maximum (62%) was to be about 11:24 (observed). 
A lack of radiation (and associated lack of heat) was noticed by all people.  This 
will have an effect on radiation and temperature sensors. 
 
Note that the twin-Otter overflew the site (32 passes) during this entire period.

I just noticed that the toshibi is slightly wet.

yesterday) morning also.
