Are you watching the eclipse?

...there's still a few minutes left, depending on your location.

Total eclipse here, caused by huge grey sheets of water vapour suspended in the sky.

Re: Are you watching the eclipse?

Awww... sorry to hear about the conditions...

With no equipment here, I watched it using an impromptu pinhole projection. Photographing it without any filters wasn't really possible, but still I managed to get the attached image where the eclipse is visible as secondary effects of the lens (I think...). Oh well, you'll soon enough see proper pictures of it.

good photo for an impromptu moment Dr J.

I missed it completely which I am immensely disappointed about.

Re: Are you watching the eclipse?

Thought it was tomorrow?

Promised the kids they would see it when i set up my telescope and paper trick in the garden. I may be in trouble.

EDIT: Damn, today is Friday! That's the trouble with taking time off work. All the days mingle.

You're in trouble ..... maybe you could stick a bit of black tape on your telescope to fake it

Re: Are you watching the eclipse?

I watched it through a cloud a few hours ago. I said to one of my colleagues about it and as he looked up the cloud went past, he still cant see properly
