Bonus shot of the totality projected on a kid's hand through the sighting scope:
Very cool! I think in this case it's called "annularity" and not "totality"
Ring of fire I think
In america, we just stare at the sun.
POKE A HOLE IN A BOX? GO BACK TO RUSSIA WITH YOUR COMMUNISM SHIT.
I already have holes in my eyes, man.
Wow. Bros killin the game and provided receipts. We get it: you fuck.
Awesome photos! Thanks for sharing and glad the weather cooperated.
I'm looking forward to the one in April, going to set aside some time to see it.
That's a great shot, I wasn't even aware it was happening today. Where was this located?
Earth
Heyo
I live there too.
I drove from southern California to Chaco Culture National Historical Park in New Mexico for it!
Cute <3
Fantastic. I went down to Nevada to get a spot in a 100% area. Nice and clear view right until 100% and then the clouds blocked it out for a few minutes. So awesome.
Is it still called totality if it's an annular eclipse?
No, I believe it's called an annularity.
This is so cool!
NGL I didn't read the title at first and thought these were all jack o lanterns
did you have to add a filter or was that part of the kit?
Yep, I bought the telescope for $70 and separate solar filter for $20. Can dm links if you're interested.
I am curious, also. Very cool! I used a welding hood with my phone and it added a green tint. Not as cool.
