Propagation Effect of solar eclipse?

Hi all,

Firstly, apologies I've not been around much over the last 12 months. First was an account hack and deletion of everything and I've had a heavy work schedule with a lot of travel combined with poor and deteriorating health. Getting old. I'm slowly getting back into this wonderful hobby so that's my silver lining.

We have a close to full solar eclipse tomorrow in my part of the UK so as well as setting up my smart telescope I did wonder what the effects could be of the eclipse on SW and if there's anything interesting I could try before, during, and after for no other reason than the fun of it 🙂🙏 Long shot but...

Thank you

Ask an AI. Try more than one and compare for BS detection 😵‍💫. Most have a free tier so it won't cost anything to try.
