Saw it briefly up here in West Yorkshire but then the clouds obscured it.

Did you see it?

Anyone get any decent photos?

Saw it in Devon, but don't have a good enough camera to do it justice...

Happy anniversary Apollo 11

Yes! Clear as day in Cheshire as I walked back from the pub. No actual camera, sent my teenage daughter a message with the heads up, this was her reply.

It's a bit blurry cos my glasses are the wrong prescription so I'm giving it a solid 4/10

****in' philistine. 🤣

Beautiful in Sussex, wreathed in a slight wisp of cloud, spectacular.

Saw it walking between drunk train and home in North Lanarkshire! Had the wrong lens on me for decent pics 🙁

Question: if the partial eclipse had happened 50 years ago what sort of view would Neil and Buzz (and Michael) have had of it from their rather unique viewpoints ?

Not sure if this link will work or not but I got lucky with a break in the cloud. Shot through a 6” scope on a DSLR. Video acquired and several thousand frames stacked to produce the final image.

Great way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 11
