It was partly cloudy when the sky was sufficiently dark for the auroras to put on a show. A few slightly adjusted images to compensate for a night sky that is still bright.

Delvis solformørking / Partial Solar Eclipse. March 29, 2025.
Eit par glimt av solformørkinga i Ørsta.
Den delvise solformørkinga den 29. mars 2025 vart prega av skiftande verforhold,
men trass regn og skyer var det i nokre sekund mogleg å få teke eit par bilete av fenomenet.
Solformørkinga starta klokka 11.26 då rørte månen seg gradvis framom sola og den delvise fasa var i gang, formørkinga var på sitt største klokka 12.23 då var ca. 39 prosent av sola dekt av månen. Formørkinga var over i det månen rørte seg vekk frå solskiva i 13.20-tida.
A couple of images of the partial eclipse on March 29, 2025. An event dominated by clouds and rain, but there were a few moments of gaps in the cloud layer.
Biletet er teke gjennom ein linsekikkert (refraktor) med solfilter den 29. mars 2025 kl. 11.49. Omkring 20 prosent av solskiva var dekt av månen på
dette tidspunktet. Lokasjon: Ørsta Norway.| Image taken at UTC 10.49 when the Sun was about 20 percent eclipsed.
Image taken at UTC 11.25. A couple of minutes after maximum eclipse (about 39 percent obscuration) of the Sun.
