Solar Eclipse

[Widget]

I took my Telescope equipped with a Solar filter up to the Ridgeway in Oxfordshire to photograph the Eclipse and so did hundreds of other people as the car park filled up and cars lined the road as far as you could see in each direction! Below are a few photos from the event and you can see a few sun spots on the sun in the larger photo.

That's amazing, such a shame you weren't in Spain with that kit

It would have been great to visit however the setup I was using is not suitable for travel as it is a 12" Dobsonian Telescope which is over 1 metre long and the base weighs over 20kg which is a shame, I need a more portable setup.
