    Default Eclipse viewing

    I painted an old CD to observe the eclipse. It's a little overcast here but I think we'll get a peek.

    Rain and overcast here. I did get a couple of good glimpses right when it started.

    About 1/4 here. Still too bright to get a pic through a welding hood.
    Maybe in a bit....

    That hole is way too big. Hopefully you figure that out in time. Literally a pin-hole would give a sharper image.

    quite an experience. We had total eclipse where I'm at and it was completely dark for about 4 minutes. craziest thing i've seen in awhile. it got noticeably darker for about 30 minutes and then in about 2 minutes it went from what I would consider "pretty dark" to absolute nighttime.
