Yes, March 2015 to coincide with the solar eclipse. 

[Scott]

Think it is in March next year?

yes, around the time of the eclipse isn't it?

[estwing]

...hmm wonder if they will pop down to SGL 10?!!!

[YorkieGraham]

There is an article in January S@N magazine giving more details about what they are getting up to if you were thinking of buying a copy.

I watched this at the beginning of 2014 and it was a fabulous programme. Looking forward to the next one in March.

[Owmuchonomy]

There's a morning programme to catch the eclipse using an aircraft over the Faroes.

I just ordered a couple of pair of eclipse glasses. Hopefully ill get to use them on march 20th. If not at least i can do something with them as a solar filter for my 70mm scope. The2nd pair are for my niece. She can use them before school and maybe take them with her and let her class mates have a look while under adult supervision.

[bomberbaz]

I am roughly on line with leeds so should get a reasonable view.

[Gazabone]

Looking forward to it, clouds permitting, I going to try to capture it on video though my 4" refractor and Herschel wedge...... which will almost certainly mean it will loud over......

Love that. Thanks. That will put the birds asleep etc. 

I'll have my camera set up and visually be watching with eclipse glasses.

[Allan the plumber]

I'm planing to check weather night before and drive over night to find a relatively cloud free location being in the Midlands can get to most places in Uk so bbc weather don't let me down

I am hoping to publish the details of the eclipse outreach event at SGLX later this week. The event will be staged a few miles away from Lucksall and will be a joint event with Herefordshire Astro Society and Madley Environmental Study Centre. The site has a 360 degree clear horizon - anyway more to follow.

[Stu]

Hi Mark,

Will this be open to all? I would like to mention it to my Astro group to see if any of them are interested in coming along just for the eclipse event.

Cheers,

Stu

[Mark at Beaufort]

Stu - the eclipse party is open to all those attending SGLX. (there will be others in attendance - Herefordshire AS members + schools etc). I am meeting with the Education Officer from MESC tomorrow afternoon with Helen (fellow GM) to discuss everything. This will include breakfast provision at the site, talks, etc - the eclipse starts early so breakfast provision is a must

A new thread detailing the outreach event has been started under SGLX details.

[Stu]

Thanks Mark

I'll look forward to it again this year. Our astro society usually gets a spike in new members after BBC SGL. Some people says it's the BC effect.
