(Posted 11 May 2013) Yesterday, we were treated to a partial solar eclipse – or an annular eclipse if you were in a lucky, narrow band of Northern Australia.
I used my Ioptron solar telescope to webcast the eclipse from Southern Canberra (see above and below) using Ustream.tv. Unfortunately, I lost my mobile internet access part way through the eclipse, meaning that I only webcast part of it. You can watch a recording of my webcast of the eclipse here.
I also had a play with using a pinhole viewer to create a version of my website logo made up of multiple images of the eclipsed Sun (below).
That worked really well and is shown below.
And for the curious, the next solar eclipse visible from Australia will be a partial one in April 2014.
