Eclipse

[OwlHoot]

Wouldn't you just know it? Not a cloud in the sky now in Cambridge, but at 9:30am it was like being inside a ping pong ball, and the eclipse was hardly noticeable

Well let's hope they had a good view in the Faroe Islands

It is going to be rerun this evening in slow motion in case anyone missed it.

I set my Sky box to record, so I'll be able to watch when I get home.

Managed some photos, e.g.

Good viewing in Edinburgh and got some good pics too.

Very good! What sort of filter did you use?

I wish I'd planned better, I chucked on a polarising filter and just set very small aperture and fast shutter to minimise the amount of light. It was all very last minute and ad-hoc

I was late into the party as well.

Was a bit of a home-made filter. Managed to get a small sheet of Baader Planetarium Solar paper from Amazon. Up late last night cutting stuff and playing around with cardboard, double sided tape (No More Nails probably wasn't the best option), and a filter step down thingy I had. Cost of a 'proper' filter £80 plus, cost of my home-made jobbie about £14 and a cut finger.

Worth the cut finger. Good pics!

Had some spliffs, mead and red wine whilst we waited for the eclipse, as expected the temperature dropping faster than NLUKs knickers was a giveaway to get the cameras out

Shame it was so cloudy in north wales, still I got some moody photos with the mountain in the background
