I was using my WO 110 APO w/ white light filter and a piggybacked PST.
The weather was a little iffy at the beginning. Clouds were an issue for the first hour or so, but we saw the ingress before losing the view off and on for a while with the clouds.
After that first hour the sky cleared and it was beautiful. Wind kicked up now and then, but nothing that would deter us from taking in the spectacle.
The sun was showing a few prominences and a few sunspots, a buffet of solar goodness! There was one prominence which appeared to be totally separated from the disk and just hovering there for hours. There was also a sunspot which was several times larger than the size of Mercury against the solar disk.
