Eclipse in UK

#1 Post by grimaldi »

Hi Guys

Here in the UK, we have just wirnessed a solar eclipse. It was pot luck with the weather for some.....I live in the County of Herefordshire and we had perfect weather... :D ....I took a few pics.....not brilliant but considering I did not have a filter as such.....I have a pair of welding glasses and set my bridge Canon camera up with the glasses placed over the lens.....so I did not look straight at the sun, observing on the eclipse on the camera screen.....we observed about 80% where we were.....the people that travelled all the way to the Faroe Islands, north of Scotland were supposed to have witnessed a 100% eclipse, but cloud cover ruined that for them....I did witness a total eclipse here in the UK back in 1999, so can't complain at today's observation... :D

Anyway, this pic was taken at 9.28am GMT which was the maximum in our area... :)
