[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 178622, member: 176362"] We say this every time but its worth repeating. Just a reminder to anyone planning to have a look at todays solar eclipse. DONT look directly at the sun, and under [B]no circumstances[/B] try to view the sun directly using binocs or a telescope. You will blind yourself if you try it. Poke a hole in a piece of card, and project the sun onto a wall or something similar. You can get interesting effect by letting the sun fall through a kitchen colendar (that spelling dont look right but its the steel thing you strain your veggies with :D ) You get lots of little eclipse shadows! Maximum totality is only about 20% in the uk, so its not going to get dark. One of the lads over on DS has spotted this coverage: There is a feed on 16E 12563 H 5632 3/4 There is video of the sun and scenes of observers. There is sound occasionally. No idea where it is coming from Clearly it is not on an equatorial mount because the operator keeps having to move the camera by hand! Libya showing reasonably uninterupted coverage on 13E 12653 H 27.5 3/4 [/QUOTE]
