Solar Eclipse from Cambridge (awesome cloud effects!)

[SteveL]

I was fortunate enough this morning to grab my DSLR and tripod, point it out the window, and grab this amazing looking image... looks like I was viewing the eclipse through the Jupiter cloud layers!

Its a composite of two images (longer one and a much shorter one), but I stupidly shot them in jpg and not RAW, so processing them has caused some hard to remove banding

stayed up from a night shift to see this with my special specks but amazingly large cloud cover as usual, then followed by snow !

Nice one Steve... amazing clouds.. just spoiling clouds here...

[Ouroboros]

Very nice that.

Interesting secondary reflection of the sun too.

I like the fact you snapped one of the local natives holding shield and spear looking up in awe!! (Below right of eclipsed sun)

Super capture Steve

Lovely shot Steve, the chimney stack and clouds really adds to it's appeal.

[Jaffa007]

still a great shot, regardless :-)

[MaCross]

Yep, great clouds! Love the mirrored pacman sun

Saw you in the paper this morning if i'm not wrong?

Nice one with the andromeda galaxy shot!

I last saw you at the star party in Wales some years ago, since then I had a kid and it has never been the same!!!!!
