We were lucky enough to be in the path of the solar eclipse that happened on Sunday. While we weren’t in the “sweet spot” we still had a spectacular view. Our set up was simple, a pair of binoculars and a white piece of paper. Also on hand were our welding goggles. Here are some image from the binoculars:
We had a nice clear sky as the eclipse was starting, but during the course of the hour it became cloudy off and on.
It was a lot of fun to watch as the moon made it’s way in front of the sun. Since we only had one pair of welding goggles we had to take turns looking through them. And of course, we were also trying to capture images of the event as well.
By the time the full eclipse and “ring of fire” happened, our sky was full of clouds. Luckily we could still see quiet a bit using the goggles. However, our binoculars no longer could produce an image. As you can see in the above image, it was very cloudy.
Did you see the eclipse?
This is awesome and you managed to catch it closed up ya 😀
