Eclipse!



The office emptied briefly today at around 9.30am for the much vaunted solar eclipse.

Tried to get a good look via a sun 'selfie', taken over my shoulder - but as you can see it didn't really come out that well (you'd never know there was an eclipse going on!).









As it turned out our best view was via  projection through a pair of binoculars, which showed up the crescent beautifully.


At least we saw something - it was too cloudy to see much last time we had a 'deep' partial eclipse in 1999, and there's quite a wait for the next one in 2026!
