    This afternoon , as Mike Fossum and Piers Sellers  carried out the 3rd EVA
    the tiny silhouette of the docked spacecraft
    crossed the Sun.

    For me , this was a      go    -    no go     -      go     siutation as the 
    weather here closed
    in.
    
    However , on a spur of the moment decision I decided to make the 30 mile
    round trip to a pre-surveyed location , just in case things cleared up.
    
    Fortunately the sky improved sufficiently to grab a couple of frames
