Eclipse Programme uk? Where is it?

Working here again now

I watched it on space.com, it was a much more stable connection.

The ongoing stream from NASA is also on Youtube, it's been stable since the start.

Just saw the best view of the lot on sky news from the ground, really caught the atmosphere. Well done that camera man

I watched on Sky News too - pretty good coverage and nice that they spent most of the time in the programme talking to kids (young and old!) about how exciting it all was.

I was very confused with TV coverage. Showed moment of totality, then said 30 seconds then showed end of totality. All from different locations. Nasatv went into meltdown every couple of minutes.

I was switching between sky, BBC & NASA. I liked sky better than BBC, & I lost NASA a couple of times. I was fortunate to see it from a ship in the faroes, brought back memories. I thought the coverage from the ground with the sound of the crowd helped to convey some of the excitement. I want to see another one now

I've been monitoring it in a few different ways.

First view of the eclipse was of the shadow over the Pacific seen by GOES West weather sat : http://www.sat.dundee.ac.uk/geobrowse/geobrowse.php?sat=3&year=2017&month=8&day=21&slot=1700&ch=1&grid=0&size=2

Then over the Mid West on GOES East:http://www.sat.dundee.ac.uk/geobrowse/geobrowse.php?sat=4&year=2017&month=8&day=21&slot=1800&ch=1&grid=0&size=2

You might need to register for that site. Nice images though.

Then I watched airplanes hogging the centreline on www.flightradar24.com 

Now monitoring a couple of webcams in Tenerife to see I can spot partially eclipsed Sun setting.

Armchair astronomy at its very best

Got skunked, the clouds closed up to a narrow sliver. Met some nice folks though, who came over from Abergavenny for a chance to view and get some photos. I just took one......

Completely cloudy here before I left at 8pm.  Now however the sky is beautifully clear.  I've just done a triathlon fitness training session in the pool though, so I'm not really up for staying out tonight.  I'm probably my very own LP source right now anyhow
