    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.
        Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                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
                      Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

                      No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.
