In case you are clouded out tomorrow, I plan to livestream the eclipse from Chelmsford, weather permitting. The livestream should appear on the BAA Youtube page here:

Currently the weather forecast for the east is good.
We are going to try and live stream from Nottingham too in white light, and Ha if the clouds permit. Live stream should go live just before 10am.

Nottingham Astronomical SocietyTwo things that I enjoyed about today’s eclipse was 1) the moon slowly eclipsing sunspot group 4043 2) looking closely at the edge of the Moon and seeing mountains and valleys. For 1) you could see the movement of the moon’s edge in real time as you had these sunspots nearby to compare distances with. For 2) I had never really looked that closely at the moon’s edge in eclipse before and was amazed at how much there are lumps and bumps. Obvious really but great to see. If you were clever enough you could probably identify which mountains and craters!
