[MiniMan64]

We've the telescopes at work lined up for tomorrow with a screen for my astronomy kids, knocked up a few pinhole cameras and boring some welding masks from DT. We couldn't really stretch to 1000 sets of glasses for the kids though!

And not forgetting to remove finder scopes.....

Edit. From my location I should get this, in S Wales.Of an astronomy program, so daylight and glare removed. Comes right to left.

Still hazy here in Lincs.

And I'm at work. Keep having to make excuses to run outside. Running out of ideas.

I've already 'been back to my car' twice.

Same in the North East. I reckon we've got at least 95% cloud cover. So basically, it's just going to go dark for a short time.

[jmorgan]

Fudge it. I left a protective film on the filter when I made it.......... damn damn damn...... looks OK though.

[p1stonhead]

[jmorgan]

99% cloud here in Blackpool, so watching the live feed here http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/space/1148...

Bright and clear here in sunny Derby. I made a pinhole viewer out of some card which worked well. Will try to slope out of the office to get a better view later.

Not as bad as that here, but still too cloudy and hazy to see much.

Sorry for the bad weather. Orientation wrong.
