2026 Solar Eclipse - did anyone see it?

Anyone see the solar eclipse? Any pics?

Here’s mine:

The lens flair (at the bottom) is actually a more accurate indication of how much of the sun was covered.

It was a lovely setting, being surround by all those trees :049:

I am waiting until the 22nd July 2028 when Wollongong get the real thing - a total solar eclipse. I have seen partial eclipses before they are much ado about nothing but a total eclipse is something else (I hope)

Now that really is worth waiting for!:crossed_fingers:

We didn’t get to see it, it was cloudy, just getting over a storm.
Next one is next August but will still be only partial in our areas.

Yes we watched it thanks to our lovely neighbour who had glasses saved from the 1999 eclipse. We couldn’t get any anywhere. We all stood in the road, well on the path together, watching it. Neighbours opposite joined in too. One of the few times we have all been neighbourly for an hour. :grinning:

There was not much to see here in London, but I did enjoy seeing neighbours in the street getting creative with their colanders.
