Update on the ISS Transit and Occultation
Why yes, they were both clouded out. Did you need to ask?
Actually, for the ISS transit there was a small window of opportunity between the rain and the cloud. I rushed outside to set up, and got involved in an amusing tangle of gear. The transit probably happened while I was trying to unjam the mounting I had jammed in my haste to set up. The the clouds came over again.
And this morning the rain was kind enough to wake me in time for the occultation, should it have been visible behind the clouds.
