Slightly off topic there was something on the BBC website about a new book with restored pictures of the apollo missions. Checked the book on Amazon (Apollo remastered I think) and was about £50.

Could make a nice Xmas present

Ordered that before getting out of bed this morning! Guardian website also had an article, with a convenient link to their bookshop.

Also crossed my mind that it would've helped the 'what do you want for xmas' thing but fuck waiting four months.

Very nice

And from near Aylesbury, but pointing in the same direction. Sorry about the dust.

Pillars of creation picture from Webb is interesting. Like the Hubbke one better though.

Breathtaking images, you can look at them for ages

partial solar eclipse today around 10am

Max viewing (15% of sun obscured) for those in London at around 11:13

Great visibility so far

now how do i watch it without any gear ?

*drills hole in wall to attempt a camera obscura

If you have a colander you can hold that up and cast an image on the ground.

I've got my scope out, but can't find tripod. Disaster.

Amazing! Rad to see those sunspots. First time the UK's ever changed Prime Ministers during a solar eclipse.
