But off course, after many days with not a single cloud in the sky, just in time now, clouds are moving in.

Good luck! I hope the pics turn out, because it looked pretty cool here.

It's still cloudy, and checking the radar, it will remain cloudy all night.
Without fail, anytime there is an astronomical event, it will be cloudy.

That is exactly what I expected, but it was totally clear here. My shitty cel phone camera could not capture it all, of course. Maybe a teeny bit...

How much would you give me for my Nikon F with 35mm and 100mm lenses?

Decent film is hard to come by, and digital is so much more convenient that it's difficult to sell cameras now.

https://www.keh.com/shop/cameras/film-cameras/nikon-autofocus--nikon-manual-focus--nikon-rangefinder--nikonos.html?multi=true - this is what's available at a well-known online store I've dealt with, and you're unlikely to get these prices.

Good quality in those days.
