Eclipse

[StarDome]

My Picture made it on to the BBC web site today and on BBC News on Sky TV

BBC News - Science & Environment

BBC News - Early partial solar eclipse for 2011

BBC News - In pictures: The night sky - and deep space (3rd pic along)

they are even using it as a smaller thumbnail

and also on the BBC Cambridge Web Site http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/cambridgeshire/hi/people_and_places/newsid_9336000/9336650.stm

I am well chuffed!

Thanks guys, it means a lot to me to get comments from such acomplished astro-photographers.

They were taken with my Canon 5D mk2, Canon-EF-100-400mm L-IS-USM-Lens @ 400mm.

Hey Dave! Well done matey! Your pic was on “Look East” followed by mine J

I also got the large shot of mine on there with the weather girl stood in front of it for 30 seconds J

Thanks for inspiring me mate to go and take some pics

I thought i recognised these images. Weren't a couple of them used as a background on the BBC 6 o clock news this evening while they were talking to Heather Cooper about the eclipse.

I'm not too sure but i think so.

I think it was in the London Standard as well, it said the pic was from Cambridgeshire - but I was only reading over someone's shoulder on the tube so I could be wrong

[Dave]

I saw it! What fun.

Almost famous...

[BAZ Senior]

I would be very chuffed with that result, cracking shots!

[Beyond_Vision]

Well done a great set of images, I'm glad to see there were some gaps in the clouds

Regards

Thamks for your support and kind words everyone. I am new to this imaging malarky and still at th bottom of the ladder. Which inspiration from Dave E and phil S I am slowly trying to get my head round it all.

Would liek to see if some of the pics made it into press, that would be cool.

Yes the main pic was used as a backdrop

[Asur84]

Great pics, gutted I couldn't get a view, I thought I was as the office I work in face East but the almighty clouds put the breaks on that plan.

Thanks for your support everyone. I am still learning and hope to at least have this NEQ6 working and a new scope for it by Kelling in September so I can do some more pics. I live in hope!
