Anyone based where its a total eciplse tomorrow?

i'm in the UK and its our last one until 2090 so worth tearing yourself away from the desk for

Yeah, I'm in the UK. Gonna be up and watching it.

Wow, didn't know there was one. UK only? I saw a total eclipse when i was a kid, it is so strange! A really neat thing is, the fact that tiny holes in leaves act like pinhole cameras and project little images of the sun. Look on the sidewalk and you'll see a bunch of circles of light, that what that is. As the sun eclipses, these circles become crescents, etc. Its a safe, cool way to watch the progression.

And then the polarizing effect during totality is bizarre. I recall a stillness, birds stopped singing, the whole world was caught in a nether world, off balance.

I'm having clouds + rain tomorrow

Think its mainly northern Europe, the last one we had was 1999 and that was a very strange feeling, it quickly went dark and suddenly very cold. Eclipses are very much a source of intrigue these days but its funny to think only a few hundred years ago they created intense panic and sacrifices etc!

I'm sure I'll get to check pic's of it out, there will be a total eclipse in 2017 maybe 80 miles from where I am, definitely have made plans to go check it out. Happy viewing tomorrow fellas

Camera obscura pics at the climax (~30 % sun). Sky is cloud free, but the scenery is like there are clouds at the sky. Not that spectacular. 2nd one, cam + floppy disk filter after the climax.

Was pretty uneventful where I was, the heavy cloud totally obscured any sight of it at all. It went a bit dark but that was about it really!
