I like to delight, I like to surprise...
So, how about something totally different: a partial solar eclipse...?
I'm a keen stargazer living on the eastern edge of Kilsyth, a small town in west-central Scotland, with dark skies to the north and east (when it isn't cloudy or raining, which is sadly rather often)!
(By the way, The Moon and Jupiter are looking splendid tonight, and if I can get a decent shot, I will share it).
All these shots were taken from my back garden. Its a wonderful luxury to have a garden, and especially one with good dark-sky observation towards at least the North and East - my view South and West is rather poor due to street lighting.
This was the partial solar eclipse from my back garden a few years ago. 20/03/2015

”A total solar eclipse occurred on March 20, 2015. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with a partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide. This total solar eclipse is notable in that the path of totality passed over the North Pole. Totality was visible in the Faroe Islands and Svalbard.
It had a magnitude of 1.0445. The longest duration of totality was 2 minutes and 47 seconds off the coast of the Faroe Islands. It was the last total solar eclipse visible in Europe until the eclipse of August 12, 2026.[1]
The track of totality passed across the North Atlantic and into the Arctic Ocean.”
