Thanks for the heads up. Remember seeing one of these on Brighton beach a few years ago. Really strange and fantastic. seem to remember someone using a colander to project the crescent shapes on the floor.

Possibly but that is quite early in the morning...
If someone wants to stump up for some Mylar I could rig a solar scope.

I'm just checking whether Simon at the Widescreen Centre has any of the Baader film in stock. Foolishly I sold the Thousand Oaks filter I had for my C8.

• #25
me too, got absolutely no memory of the last one (14 yrs ago)..
Anyone up for doing something for the upcoming Solar Eclipse.
WARNING 8:20am start of the eclipse so will be an earlyish start
20th March lets ride to a high point and watch it all unfold. Where is the highest point in London ? Needs an easterly / southerly view, clear line of sight to the horizon. 119 to 154 degrees on the compass needs to be visible.
Here is a video of what we should expect to see given a clear sky. All times and details are given on this page.
