The Eclipse from kerry

1st Contact...

Partial Phase...

totality to follow....

Trevor - perhaps you'll post totality tomorrow after lunch...

Hard luck with the weather. I'm really sorry it didn't pan out for you. Glad you kept your sense of humour though

Dave

you have to, I had three scopes, binoculars, cameras and camcorder, all set up and ready to go.

At least some of you had clear skies.

Trevor, hard luck on you and the guys down there hope you don;t have to drive after totality!!

I was looking at the sat pics earlier and I felt for you guys!

No Driving for me.

I stayed at home. Some of the lads held a public observing session in tralee but clouded out also, although I think they managed some views of Saturn

Trevor, don't recognise that beer. Any good?

Views from Dublin were great. Though I dont know about it being a total eclipse, there were always some bright parts, on the nothern and later the eastern limb.

Heres one shot I took for parallax purposes so not too pretty, and no post processing. I count 27 stars here how 'bout you?
