Cloud cover started off the day at the museum. Then by early afternoon the clouds broke up enough that we brought our equipment out front for some solar viewing for the public.

Otwell librarian Emily Willis assembled this display of books about space exploration and astronomy. The library has formed a partnership with Mark and Marcie Miller, who have photographed astronomical objects, as well as NASA lift-offs. Their photos are displayed at the Otwell Library and published on their Red n Blue Observatory channel on the Night Skies Network.
