Very turbulent atmospheric conditions and upcoming clouds allowed only some more or less sharp photos with a Zeiss refractor 840/63mm f13,3, on Canon 5DMIII. Exposure time 1/6400 to 1/250, ASA 50-100.

The transit at 19:10 MESZ with some cloud pattern, and a passing airplane in a distance of apprx 160 km let this ca.7:18 hours event end somehow romantic.
