Watching through the camera was ok earlier, but now there are too many solar flares coming off the lense

At least you can see the sun. I barely have any idea which direction it is in due to the density of cloud...

Fair point and I should be grateful as it rains 99.9% of the time.

Damn it, it's not clearing fast enough.

I don't want to damage my DSLR but would it be ok to take a quick snapshot or two ?

On a positive note as there don't seem to be any solar glasses available this year we would have trouble looking at it anyway.

I know where the sun is, just there's a few clouds in front of it.
