I'm taking photos of the eclipse at 5 minute intervals and collating
them together on http://www.jstott.me.uk/temp/eclipse.jpg Unfortunately, to get an OK shot of the sun and to avoid blinding myself requires several extra pieces of glass in front of the lens, so there's quite a lot of extraneous reflections and stuff. -- Jonathan Stott Canterbury Weather: http://www.canterburyweather.co.uk/ Reverse my e-mail address to reply by e-mail |

Great photos Jonathan, you're lucky, most of the country is cloud covered. Joe Wolverhampton 175m asl Just had a quick glimpse of it here (central Lowlands). Cloud breaking for about a minute in the right place at mid-eclipse (10am). Tried taking a photo, but with no filters, F/9 and 1/2000th exposure it's way too over exposed of course. Must be quite a sight in Spain just now! Alex. |

Jonathan, to avoid the problems you indicate, and the risk to your eyesight,
why don't you project the sun's image onto a sheet of paper, and photograph that? -- Bernard Burton Wokingham, Berkshire, UK.

Didn't have any time to set something up like that, unfortunately. I was lazy and woke up late ;) Eyesight should be fine becauseI just roughly point the camera in the right place without looking through the viewfinder. -- Jonathan Stott Canterbury Weather: http://www.canterburyweather.co.uk/ Reverse my e-mail address to reply by e-mail |

Thanks for sharing. I was out on Cleeve Hill (alt. 1083ft.) on Sunday morning from 8:15 to 12:00 playing golf and wasn't aware there was going to be a partial eclipse. It was very cloudy overhead and to the NW but in the distant SE the sky was clear. About halfway through the round everybody remarked on the peculiar quality of the light. Very dark beneath the clouds and unnaturally bright towards the clearer sky. Glad to know what caused it :-) Alan |

England I doubt very much if the gloom was due to the eclipse. I have seen three eclipses of similar magnitude in a clear sky, on 25 Feb 1971 (mag 0.66), 12 Oct 1996 (0.61) and today (0.67). The actual obscuration is less than the magnitude by about 0.1. In each case there was a just perceptible reduction in the light giving a slightly unreal effect, as if someone had turned the sun down a bit. Any cloud obliterates this effect, and now that the Cu+Sc has spread here the light level is only 5% of that with sunshine, but it is still quite good daylight. The eye has a huge dynamic range and a change in brightness of a factor of 2 is not immediately obvious. The temp reach 15.1°C here at 1140Z but the cloud spread in and it quickly dropped back to 13°. Tudor Hughes, Warlingham, Surrey. |

Not a chance of seeing anything here due to the hopelessly overcast conditions but I did think that things seemed rather gloomier than one might expect at the time of the eclipse. But then I was looking out for any effects and I'm sure if I didn't know there was an eclipse on I wouldn't have noticed anything unusual. Col -- Bolton, Lancashire. 160m asl. |

However I thought that this only happened in conditions very close to totality, say 98-99%. During the August 1999 event here when it was something like 92-93% totality I looked for this effect but didn't see it. What was the % totality in Athens?

Cloud free here in kent, buth having no filters handy i managed a snap of the crescent shadows formed in the dappling under a tree. An old steam camera i'm afraid so i'll scan it in when developed...

... I'm not sure what you mean by 'little circular suns on the ground' Well, the important thing is that you understood me :-) I didn't know how to describe it. but what you certainly seem to have are crescent shape patches of light which are an indicator or an eclipse. However I thought that this only happened in conditions very close to totality, say 98-99%. During the August 1999 event here when it was something like 92-93% totality I looked for this effect but didn't see it. What was the % totality in Athens? I thought that the track of the eclipse has passed way south into Sudan by the time it had reached your longitude. Only about 64.5% totality in Athens, Col. Still, the effect was apparent and I was looking forward to taking pictures of it. Back in 1999, if I recall well, totality had reached about 89% in Athens and the same effect was obvious.

I don't know if it's because I'm little further south than you Col, but I certainly noticed crescent shaped patches of light here. When I was walking through a long narrow avenue of trees.

I'm just wondering if you could reproduce this effect at home by making a
crescent-shaped hole in a piece of card which you'd then hold up to a light. Would you get these little crescent-shaped patterns if you shone the light through something appropriate (like foliage)? You could experiment with different sizes of cresent. I must try it! ally |
