Literally the only cloud in the sky at eclipse time here was where the sun was. but this was not a bad shot and the pinhole worked well!

The #eclipse from the north Devon coast, in Croyde.

I was also out watching the partial #eclipse here. Yeah, I like our place. I guess it could be worse.

Preparing for #eclipse watching SCIENCE with a nice pint of ale.

Sjukt svårt att hitta såna här (de är slut överallt). Men på apoteket fanns ändå några ISO-certifierade brillor att köpa. #Paris #eclipse

Walked over to #Manchester 's Heaton Park to get a good view of the #eclipse (actually it wasn't as low on the horizon as I expected). The gulls on top of the hall got the best view! The park was absolutely rammed, never got a chance to find the astronomy club there.

Hello Fedi lazyweb.
There will be a solar eclipse on August 12th (only partial in the UK) and I was wondering how to take photos of it.
A quick web search indicates that pointing a camera directly at the sun can be just as quick to burn out digital sensors as it is to burn out human retinas. And I don't want to do either!
I have some ISO-certified eclipse glasses for my eyes, does anyone have any suggestions for how to protect a camera lens (either a physical digital camera or a smartphone camera).
Thanks!

The #eclipse in Munich wasn’t a total one and it happened close to sunset. The weirdest thing was when the sun was just behind some trees but the sky‘s brightness was way lower than usual at that moment.
And the colander trick works.

Not too late to build a pin hole camera with whatever you have lying around. The greater the distance from the pin to the projecting surface, the larger the image…

Wow, the skies are all cloudy, dark, and miserable over Northern Ireland right now. Business as usual.

Onde se prova que estš mesmo a ocorrer um #eclipse. Os buraquinhos deviam aparecer quadrados, não em crescente.

A gaggle of older ladies has assembled at the cliffside that overlooks Wick harbour, and gotten all their gear out " to watch the eclipse".
At 18:32 it will have started, but the sun is behind some thin clouds at the horizon, so you can't see anything.

Here is what peak #eclipse looked like from north Devon.

Aparte de las gafas, estoy pensando fabricar una caja oscura, o estenopeica, para observar el #eclipse. ¿Alguien tiene un enlace con instrucciones que le haya sido útil en el pasado?

ECLIPSE FAIL
Looking at my timeline I see "positive publication bias": judging by the photos, one would think that everybody has seen the eclipse, but that's because only people who saw it have pictures to upload.
But don't fret, because it is I the one who will fight this bias, one failure at a time, by sharing that I climbed onto my roof, put my eclipse glasses on... only for the sun to hide behind that building one minute before the ring was formed.

Así voy a poder contemplar el #eclipse2026 desde el balcón de casa. A ver si hay suerte y ese día no hay nubes.
Ademšs esta tarde he encontrado por casa un filtro del dišmetro de uno de los objetivos que tengo, concretamente para el 100-400, que me viene ni al pelo para "tintarlo" mañana en el pabellón con lšmina de las que usamos para tintar las lunas de los autobuses e ir haciendo …

Para a malta do sul de #portugal , este #eclipse foi um aperitivo. Quem estš na costa algarvia teve uns 800 km até Š faixa de totalidade. Para o ano, ela vai estar uns 50-100 km a sul da costa.

Anyone remember the good old times, when a solar eclipse was the harbinger of calamity? The messenger of our current schemes being headed for disaster?
Ok never mind, carry on.
#eclipse

Yes, this is it: one of the 2 million #EclipseGlasses distributed for free by the Spanish government (see https://www.ciencia.gob.es/Noticias/2026/julio/Gobierno-ONCE-gafas-eclipse.html for the announcement and e.g. https://nachrichten.es/sonnenfinsternis-am-12-august-spanien-verschenkt-2-millionen-eclipse-brillen-hier-koennen-sie-sich-kostenlos-eine-sichern/ for news coverage) - we got ours at https://lafabricadeluz.org in Ponferrada where they are bundled with tickets to the museum ... which we had initially visited only for the glasses (paired here with a popular beer) but which turned out to be super-interesting.

Found a fairly nice spot. Street bench where the sun was doing down between the buildings.
Didn't really get noticeably dark but saw the crescent shadows between the tree leaves and my eyes though the filters saw the moon block the sun better than the camera managed to see.
Here's my pathetic contribution to what I assume is the most photographed English Eclipse until the next one probably years away.
Many people on the street with no glasses or filters. Loaned mine out a fair bit. Don't think I have blinded anyone.

I want a solar (and lunar) eclipse emoji. The new moon sun emojis just don’t really cut it. 🌑☀️

#MastoEclipse avec @… #eclipse

While watching the #eclipse I was mostly thinking "ooh, pretty" but I did manage to squeeze a slightly more profound thought out (based upon that Iain M Banks snippet that was doing the Fedi rounds yesterday).
Given that it's probably quite rare for a planet's satellite and star to have exactly the same visible dimensions, it occurred to me that even if there are other sentient beings scattered through our galaxy, we may be the only ones that have ever gazed upon and marvelled at a solar eclipse.

Pas complètement retombé sur terre après l'éclipse totale de mercredi. Une petite photo Š l'arrache en digiscopie , le smartphone derrière l'oculaire de ma petite lunette entre deux waouh c'est trop beau, ça donne ça :
Bon, les photos c'est bien, mais il me suffit de fermer les yeux et de me refaire le film, frissons garantis. J'ai fait le plein de waouh pour un bon moment je crois...

Some light clouds came over about 10 minutes before the #eclipse was at its fullest. Which actually worked in our favour as it meant even my crappy old phone with its crappy old camera could get a picture through the clouds.
Great atmosphere up on Helsby Hill this evening.

We are up on Helsby Hill, looking out westwards over the Mersey mudflats and north Cheshire's vast miles of oil refineries.
It may not be the most beautiful vista ever, but we have a glorious unimpeded view of the slowly descending sun. Now we're just waiting for the moon to do its thing.
