🌒 LIVE Solar Eclipse 2026 from the UK | Seestar S50 Telescope | Deepest UK Eclipse Since 1999! Watch the spectacular Solar Eclipse of 12 August 2026 LIVE from the UK, captured through a ZWO Seestar S50 smart telescope. Tonight the Moon passes across the face of the Sun, producing one of the most impressive solar eclipses visible from Britain in decades. Across the UK, around 90–96% of the Sun will be covered depending on location, leaving an incredibly thin crescent of sunlight visible close to maximum eclipse. 🌒 SOLAR ECLIPSE 2026 – UK 📅 Date: Wednesday 12 August 2026 🌍 Location: United Kingdom 🌓 UK Eclipse: Partial Solar Eclipse ☀️ Maximum coverage: Around 90–96%, depending on location ⏰ Maximum eclipse: Around 7:05–7:16pm BST across the UK 🌅 Look towards: The western sky 🔭 Telescope: ZWO Seestar S50 ☀️ Solar observing: Seestar S50 fitted with the appropriate solar filter This is the greatest solar eclipse coverage visible from the UK and Ireland since the famous eclipse of 1999. Although the UK lies outside the path of totality, parts of Greenland, Iceland and Spain will experience a spectacular TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE, where the Moon completely blocks the Sun. Join us LIVE as we use the Seestar S50 to follow the Moon moving steadily across the solar disc and watch the Sun transform into a dramatic crescent. Will the notoriously unpredictable UK weather cooperate? 🌥️☀️ Come along, join the live chat and experience the eclipse with us! 🔭 ABOUT THE TELESCOPE The ZWO Seestar S50 is a compact all-in-one smart telescope capable of automatically locating, tracking and imaging astronomical objects. For today's eclipse it will be used with the correct solar filter fitted securely over the telescope aperture, allowing us to safely image the changing shape of the Sun throughout the event. ⚠️ IMPORTANT – SOLAR VIEWING SAFETY NEVER look directly at the Sun without proper solar viewing protection. Ordinary sunglasses are NOT SAFE. Only use certified eclipse glasses or telescopes/binoculars fitted with a suitable solar filter designed specifically for solar observing. NEVER point an unfiltered telescope at the Sun. If you're watching from somewhere in the UK, tell us your location and how much of the eclipse you can see! 👍 LIKE the stream 💬 JOIN the live chat 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for more live astronomy, solar observing and space videos! #SolarEclipse #SolarEclipse2026 #SeestarS50 #UKSolarEclipse #Eclipse2026 #SolarEclipseLive #Eclipse #Astronomy #Sun #Space #PartialSolarEclipse #ZWOSeestar #LiveAstronomy #August12Eclipse
