Solar Eclipse

Hello,

are you prepared for the solar eclipse tomorrow morning? I hope it will be a clear and bright morning like the one today.

PS: Sorry, but you have to be in Europe for having all this fun

 

I'm going to get up and go and try and take some photos, if the sky is clear... which it probably wont be.

 

I hope you can get some. Your lunar eclipse shots were pretty sweet.

 

Thanks man. I hope so too, but I don't think I have the right equipment really for close ups of this, but maybe I'll get some more nice panoramics anyway. It's just a 10 mega pixel tesco job, nikon coolpix. It's a pretty good camera but probably not for this... Be nice to see it anyway. There are apparently 3 more to come this year.

 

Yeah, you're right. There are 4 this year and that won't happen again until 2029.

 

Hello,

I have not much hope, but we will see. Unfortunately I don't have any filters at home. Maybe I will find a piece of developed bw photographic film in my junk box.

If we are lucky the clouds will filter it for us.

 

Hello,

with this approach we can claim that we have a solar eclipse 5 or 6 times a week .

Gyro

 

It's being said we have next to know chance of seeing it.

 

I'll enjoy a lie in then. I'm still feeling rough from new year

 

:2thumbsup:Forecast says it will be clear but misty tomorrow in edinburgh

Edit no it doesn't

 

What about Cardiff?

 

I don't know don't you got internets in cardiff?

 

Yes, but i'm working. Shouldn't even be on this site :bobby:

 

I'm sure they will allow you to check the weather forecast...

 

Hello,

that's because we get older .

Regards
Gyro

 

It says cloudy for cardiff as well, sorry

 

Nah, I think I’ll just stick around here until 2050 when it's directly overhead

I did however see and photograph the 1993 event which was seen throughout the Northern U.S. and Southern Canada :2thumbsup:

Hello,

I'm not exactly sure if I'm still alive in 2050. Anyway, we had a total solar eclipse in Germany in 1999. It was haunting. It got dark (surprising, hu?) and cold. And the birds and the other wildlife stopped yelling and prepared for the night. After some minutes the sun came back and it was such a nameless feeling. I can't really describe it, it's far out. You have to experience it yourself. After that one can imagine what incient people might have felt during an eclipse.

I suppose I was just being conversationalist, but we live and learn.
