Testing my setup for tomorrow's solar eclipse
Tags: astronomysolar eclipse19 Mar 2015 - MawKernewek
It has been a nice sunny day today so I thought I would get my setup sorted for the solar eclipse which will be visible as a partial eclipse from where I am.
I plan to project an image of the Sun on white paper using one half of a pair of binoculars. I found my adapter to attach to a tripod today which is fortunate because it was surprisingly difficult to hold the binoculars steady enough.
The Royal Astronomical Society has put together a guide describing the eclipse and several ways to view it safely. The website created for the August 2017 eclipse in the USA also has a section about the 20th March 2015 eclipse.
Hopefully clear skies will allow a good view tomorrow.
