Never mind last chance to see it this century, how about the last chance for any current human on the planet to see it ever (give or take one or twoo newborn babies perhaps) :D

I will be up as I will be driving to Suffolk

Will there be anything much to see?

I had a quick look at times and I need to look at about from 4:35 to 4:52am, but is it worth it?

so how would we see it? if it that small?

Telly program tonight (Horizon) which covers it as well.........

I saw the announcement on the BBC news, and will be up early to see it. I look forward to it. :thumb:

Ah....NOW I know why my bro-in-law is in Alaska.......

I got up, but had complete cloud cover :(

Up at 4:05 am, the moon was shining throught the cloud :)

Went to out local hill (Goodwood) stayed for an hour,

We had mist, thunder clouds, the odd patch of broken cloud, but no clear view of the sun :(

Managed a few shots on the way back, as the sun burst through, but i dont think any of the pics are any good,

Oh well there's allways next time :D:D
