Well, here's a couple of my pics from the recent eclipse.

Lots of people in the park. Many with disturbing equipment (guy with two pairs of dark glasses, I'm looking at you... hope you didn't damage anything).

My setup: a pair of 10x50 binoculars with wobbly focusing, a plastic box to lean them on, and a sheet of paper.

A pair of olive-green binoculars, being held steady on a brightly-coloured plastic crate. The image from the binoculars is being projected onto a sheet of A4, held upright with a clothes peg. Inside the shadow of the binoculars on the paper are two images (one blurry) of a solar eclipse at about 80%.

A landscape of parched grass. In the background are many people sitting on it, observing the eclipse. The sun and moon are in the very top right of the image, lurking just above the distant tree-line.
