I don't have any, but that isnt round, does it not have to be a circle resembling the sun?

Looking okayish in cork now. They are projecting it with a telescope in ucc at main campus.

Plenty breaks in cork

DOCARCH

Beginning to see the start of the effects of the eclipse on http://www.sat24.com/en/eu

If you run loop, first you see the sun rise, sunlight moving NW and now you can start to see the start of the eclipse with shadow beginning to come in from the SW.

Breaks here near Arklow too,can see the sun

Drizzle here in Limerick City. Gutted . I can't realy see it lifting enough in the next 25 minutes to see anything.

Getting cloudy here now, for those without glasses this is the biggest tease of the century

Ucc event

Ardent

Totally overcast in Dublin city centre

RobertKK

going to head to higher ground and see if I can get a view, land over 300m asl.

Fog is the problem at the moment, hope it is not low cloud...

Getting noticeably darker too I should add.

No breaks in Clonmel.

fryup

Dr Bob

In the gardens in maynooth college..all grey clouds and drizzle. taking some pics to see how dark it gets..

Harry Palmr

Lightly overcast in the wrong place! :mad: a few gaps so have to hope.

Sun totally visible now and got very bright here , I looked at for few secs to see if Eclipse had begun and eyes blurred , Its incredibly bright , like a hot searing summer sun , wont be looking at it again though !!

DOCARCH

Noticeably darker now in south Dublin...although that could be the cloud thickening too!

Rikand

Tne sun came out for 2 minutes but I was on a phonecall and couldnt go out. Now thick dark clouds have rolled into Athlone.

Solar Eclipse.... it was fun while it lasted

jprboy

Light drizzle started here in North Tipp.

Birds still singing here !

dr strangelove

I'll head back to after hours now.

There's a break in the clouds here in West cork and it's getting darker with a yellow pinky tint and dullishness. Its like I remember the last eclipse in 99.

Yes the've really piped down from earlier , dog hanging around the front door here too and I've left him in .

eviltimeban

Getting quite dark now in Dublin but also starting to rain, to add insult to injury!

Harps

Murky cloud here in England, a few brief glimpses of the sun but nothing clear, gotten a bit dull but no more so than a typical dull cloudy day

yellowlabrador

It' like sunset . Everything pinky and dull Dunmanway

Dr Bob

Birds still chirping away in maynooth..fecking drizzle and cloud too.

RobertKK

Darker and temperature falling.

5starpool

This is exactly as I remember the 99 eclipse, dull and boring with no break in the cloud cover where I was then either.
