I saw the 2017 eclipse in the US… It was the harbinger of the bad president…

It’s dark as hell right now.

Was it worth it to make the trip?

What if some weird event caused the Earth to be flung from solar orbit and now it’s leaving the solar system?

Well maybe it already is.

Maybe just the cats to run around in circles or the dogs to howl.

Which reminds me: birds started chirping and nesting during the eclipse.

I looked for that and can confirm…It’s not generally true. They were still flying around me. :joy:

A wonderful eclipse, first time I’ve seen an annular. We watched from a beach just south of Chenggong - feet in the surf and head in the skies.

Got very lucky with the weather - sun was sinking into thick cloud over the coastal range. Even lost it for 10 mins, then it came back in a small but perfect window for the complete alignment. Y1 Y2 Y3 Y4 Y5

Great pics!
How did you take them?

all credit to my teenager.

She used a 15yo point-and-shoot Canon (but nice and quite powerful zoom), and held the eclipse glasses in front of the lens :sunglasses:.

They turned out great! I tried the glasses in front of my cell phone method but all my photos came out lame.

Same. Seems we needed a powerful optical zoom.

A few captures from Sunday, near 東石 just west of Jiayi.

Considering the pros spend thousands these are incredible. Love the improvisation with the eclipse glasses!
