Spent a pleasent 2 hours imaging the Sun at the end of my drive which had the lowest western horizon I could get from home. Several neighbours came round to have a look which was great.

That's really great! What's more you stayed at home, got some excellent results and didn't dump loads more CO2 in the atmosphere to get yet another ordinary eclipse photo...

Thanks Mike. You'd think astronomers would be the first to realise how precious the Earth is but maybe not
