I haven't really come up with a design but I know they will be $15/pair or two pair for $40.

Local forecast just changed from clear to partly cloudy. If Boomer sent me PNW energy I’m going to be pissed.

Boo I work that night. Would have been cool to capture that with my telephoto lens. Probably going to be cloudy anyway.

If you have solar eclipse glasses you can actually use them, you just have to reverse the lenses.

My camera wasn't cooperating this morning so this was the only pic that was even marginal. The eclipse was cool though. Watched it from about 1/3 eclipsed into totality. Lost it in the haze once the sky got light.

None of my cameras could get a good image, but I got outside right in the middle of the totality. It was pretty amazing. Lasted a long time too.

Just realized we would not have been able to see it here anyway. On night shift and would have missed it otherwise. Lunar eclipses are kinda neat to see though. Never got to see one yet since I own a DSLR.

Too late? I thought it was too early. ;)

I was waaay too tired from my day before and days of lack of sleep to see it. And it was pretty warm and clear out at night too.

I read about the rare event: Blue moon, super moon, total eclipse of the moon. Won't happen again for 150 years. They said it's predawn. I woke around then and got up and took out the trash and there it was, total! I stayed out there until an edge lit up.

I'd trade 20 of them for one total eclipse of the sun, though. Make that 100. :)
