Over North West England last night the sky was clear as a bell and the eclipse was a fantastic sight to see.

My pal set my camera on a timer thingy and it took pics from 2018 the time the eclipse started until it ended around midnight. At one stage the moon appeared to be a reddish colour which I understand is due to light filtered through Earths atmosphere.

I’ve since run all the shot taken at speed so as I said it looks really fantastic
