    Sorry - I thought I'd posted this at the end of last year

    There's going to be a partial solar eclipse visible from the UK tomorrow, visible from London for a while

    Partial begins - 29 Mar 2025, 10:07:25
    Maximum (about 30%) - 29 Mar 2025, 11:03:27
    Partial ends - 29 Mar 2025, 12:00:50

    This will be more visible further west and especially in parts of Canada which will have very close to a full eclipse.

    For full details see https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/solar/2025-march-29

    Assuming the sun is actually visible I'm going to be trying the lenses I have eclipse filters for (two zooms and a 500mm mirror lens), mainly as practice for next year (total eclipse visible from Spain and Portugal etc.) since tomorrow won't be hugely impressive.
