russ Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Forecast is for cloud and rain in Hampshire, so as with the night time events, i won't be seeing anything. A bit like last years partial eclipse. PANTS!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaelicstorm7 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Weathers not looking too good for tomorrow here in Leeds either, but I'll take the Megrez/EQ5 and solar filter to work if it's visible hoping to take a few images, but not holding my breath.Alan.

mark RD Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I booked the day off work, I will be using Baader astrosolar safety film and with any luck taking some pics afocal style though my 5 inch refractor well that is if its not cloudy :tearyeyed:RD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Mark/Alan, good luck with those images and fingers crossed for a sunny spell. Things are looking slightly more hopeful this morning. Both Metcheck and Metoffice have given sunny spells for this morning. So i'm taking the camera and solar film to work too.Last year Ant had to talk me through the eclipse onthe phone. He had blue skies in Essex while i had cloud in Hampshire which cleared to perfect blue sky 20mins after the eclipse finished :xRuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darron Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hopefully staying fine, have a good view south from the garden to project the image onto, of all things my desk blotter. I will try to take a few pics of the projection.Darron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Well it's dire here. Had some early blue sky but that's now replaced with 100% cloud cover. :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark RD Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Had a few breaks in the cloud, I got my fingers crossed for the next 40 minsRD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naz Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Marvellous, not a cloud in sight, and what do I get, just a grazing touch a long the bottom of the Sun, guesstimate at about 5% or less. Unfortunately, I had to be out, so missed the live coverage. Does anyone know if there are any reruns available??naz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
