It could have been a Dinosaur day, well it felt like it. It was eclipse day not a large meteor
The morning started bright with a thin layer of cloud but by 10am just before the eclipse started it clouded over
Shetland as a whole was covered by cloud but there was a few breaks at various times
Its always the same at these events and many are missed but at least today i managed three views in the gaps
Looking at photos many people used no protection, all mind were taken with a solar filter hence the colour. In Shetland we had about a 40% covering
I gather the next partial eclipse is on the 25 October 2022 when it will be visible from the UK. You will have to wait until 2090 for a total eclipse
