A Partial Solar Eclipse on the morning of March 29th
The moon passed between the Earth and the Sun on the morning of March 29th 2025. From some places on Earth the moon completely covered the Sun (a total Eclipse) but here in the UK it appeared as in this picture taken at Brough - it shows the eclipse at maximimum coverage.
Almost gone!

A Partial Solar Eclipse on the morning of March 29th
The moon slips to one side leaving the full face of the sun visible after a couple of hours obscuring part of it. As well as this live projected image there were 4 telescopes outside (with proper filters!), solar glasses, a pair of solar binoculars, and a few home made cardboard-box 'camera obscura' type solar viewers too!
Be safe! Don't look at the sun through anything without a proper solar filter.

We projected a live image of the eclipse onto the wall inside the observatory, from an 80mm refractor telescope with a normal dSLR camera attached. This image shows some of our members and visitors safely taking a picture of the sun, inside the observatory.
