Spring equinox

[Bohobumble]

I was only using a shoebox pinhole camera but for me it was still exciting! I didn't get the pics at the best defined moments as I was too busy looking!

The clouds started to clear just in time to see most of the eclipse here in Bucks, if you want to have a look I posted a couple here

It got quite dark and cold here in the west of Ireland, I was hoping for stars but I suppose that only happens when it's a total eclipse I think it was 98 percent here. The sky was clear.

Great photos everyone, I tried to take a photo too but failed dismally, the sun still looked like the sun in my pictures even when it was eclipsed!

Can't wait for the moon tonight, hope to try and get some good pictures of it

[Thelma Sanders]

It's a new moon tonight, so I don't think there will be anything to get a picture of?

[cariann88]

Ah right, I thought it was the super moon where it gets big.

I think supermoon just means the moon is very close to Earth and so appears huge
...thing is, it's a new moon so you'd only see a tiny smile as opposed to a full moon supermoon when it's a giant 'ball' in the sky ?

Solar eclipse, Supermoon, Spring equinox: Friday will see three rare celestial events - Science - News - The Independent

That's why I was asking.

[Nicos]

Ah yes....I can understand- it's misleading using the more spectacular one

Quote....
"A Supermoon, or perigee moon, happens when the full or new moon does its closest fly-by of the Earth, making it look bigger than it normally does."

A photo of a new moon would be much less interesting...pretty though!

Clear sky's in Nottingham most of the time so had a good view using my arc welding helmet.

I did learn though that when SWMBO is wearing said helmet that that is not the time to say "Your looking good this morning sweetheart" My ears are still ringing.

I use to live in Nottingham.

Ah is that what it is going to look like. Why put a misleading picture in if it's not going to turn out like that.
