Watching Today's Solar Eclipse

We were only in the 30-40% coverage range in NE Ohio but we got rained out anyhow. If anyone wants so see the eclipse in all it's glory, NASA posted a live link.

I would love to see a full solar eclipse. We had around an 80-90% eclipse here in the UK in 1999. That caused quite a fuss. People in the streets with welders masks and cardboard tinted spectacles. I hope this eclipse impressive for those that saw it.

I am a big fan of astronomy and events such as this. I am not religious but do feel a sense of spirituality at them. Just last night I had tried an adaptor I purchased to attach my phone to my 6 inch reflecting telescope. Managed to get what I thought was a decent pic of Jupiter.

Of course I do...and I highly recommend it.

Let me know how it turns out...time for another nap.

Safest place to be during a solar eclipse !!

Wake up sheeple! It wasn’t the moon moving in front of the sun, it was the dark side of the sun rotating to face us.

I'll be in the path of totality for the April 24 eclipse, which promises to be even more spectacular. 🫰

I'll open up my property to anyone in the forums that wants to come over to observe and smoke a pipe.
