Caught the eclipse this morning until almost perfect conditions from Dungannon. Martin.

Fantastic images Martin. You can clearly see the hills and valleys of the Moon's disk silhouetted against the Sun and sunspot groups 865 and 866 are quite detailed with facula visible at the limb. The sun's disk looks 3D with limb darkening enhancing the effect.
