Eclipse!

I went down to Sheffield Hallam's outdoor theatre yesterday morning to watch the 90% partial solar eclipse. The Sheffield Astronomical Society were gathering there and I bumped into first Cis and Steve, and later Krissy.

We were cursing the clouds at first, but it turned out well in the end. There were patches of very light cloud which let us get some good photos and views with the naked eye which otherwise wouldn't have been possible. There were also occasional bursts of clear sky which gave a great view through the eclipse glasses.

I love these grand celestial events. Next up, the U.S. of A. in 2017!
