Solar eclipse March 20th 2015

Those images mirror what I got out here in Stillorgan.

Hi,

I observed the partial eclipse from Rush, Co Dublin.
Started completely overcast, but at maximum saw the eclipse through cloud, no filter needed.

A little later for a few minutes later the sun shone brighly and got photos through my 85 mm refractor. The quality of light on the ground had a strange look!

See my website Variable Star Nights for the images.

Hope it was good in the Faroes

Stuck it out in Co. Monaghan where the sky was getting worse by the minute .. We finally got a 2mn or so break shortly after 10am from which we frantically imaged from the scopes as much as we could! Will be looking through the results soon. All together a brilliant event despite the clouds, it actually made it possible to get glimpse at the event naked eye at various times.

Totally clouded out in my part of Limerick - until 10.32!! Not much but it's there

i managed to get to see about 20 minutes of the eclipse at the end from 10:20 when the cloud thinned a bit. the sky did get very dark at the maximum but it was totally clouded out.

We saw the ecli[pse through cloud in Dunsink about 10 minutes after maximum.

The general consensus is that, by irish standards, it was a success :lol:

Michael.
