I remember watching one many years ago by looking at the ground under a tree. The leaves created thousands of "pinholes" projecting the images onto the ground. Beautiful.

Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Looked at it for a few seconds using exposed 35mm film to look thru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Cool! Working with two sheets of cardboard just like the last time. Still in process in central Montana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter, son-in-law and his parents want us to meet up with them in Texas for the eclipse in April 2024. I was thinking that viewing from Niagara Falls on the U.S. side might be really cool. Trouble is, I think Texas has a helluva lot better chance of being sunny than Niagara Falls, NY. I saw the one in 2017 in Oregon. That was very cool. Here’s a map showing the two. The upcoming one will have a great viewing time down in Texas as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 These were from east Texas. Took a lot of fiddling with the camera settings but finally got a decent shot. This was taken by a friend who drove out to west Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Kris Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 That sounds like a good reason to head to the national quilt museum in Paducah Ky. next April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 These were taken with an older Canon EOS Rebel with an old analog Sigma 400mm lens. I had an FD to EF adapter so I could mount it on my camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I was a working paramedic in Athens County when the last totality hit there. Middle off summer. A nice friendly tree threw the same shadows as were shown earlier in this thread. Next year my hacienda is supposed to be in the path of totality. Neighbor has a nice friendly maple tree to throw eclipse shadows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
