I've added a few more photographs from yesterday's solar eclipse event to the bottom of the meeting report here: http://flamsteed.info/2015/03/solar-eclipse-viewing-event/

Have to say, I'm feeling pretty knackered today, after that event and a Blackheath observing event yesterday evening (where we had a couple of successful hours of observing, and a decent attendance).

I would have uploaded these images earlier otherwise!

I'm not surprised! πŸ™‚ I hope you had good rest today! I must admit that I haven't done much at all today, the various events all through this week and back and forth between London and Brighton took its toll! Well worth it though!

Just found this Getty Images link with a great shot of Rupert - and more (professional) photos from Greenwich (and from a few other places that didn't have cloudgazing fun like we had)!

Wow, what a great shot!

He's got to stop spying through the office windows in Canary Wharf, though πŸ˜‰

To be fair, there was nothing else to look at on Friday! πŸ™‚

Ha! Great picture!

That reminds me the time I took my friends to a Blackheath event for the lunar eclipse (I think) and as there was nothing to see, I pointed at the entrance of the hotel... I had to give them something!! :p

We will run this video prior to the next lecture.
