Happy eclipse day! For those not in the path or stuck under cloudy weather, you can watch online: https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2023/2023-annular-eclipse-broadcast/

My forecast has been clouds all week, but I woke up to a clear blue sky today! I'm not in the path of annularity, but I'm very excited for a nice partial solar eclipse! I think my last solar eclipse was in 2017, and this time I'll have solar telescopes!

I just saw the eclipse! I didn't have much in the way of specialized equipment, so I did the old hole-in-the-paper trick. It was really neat, especially since usually when there's a historical, once in a lifetime astronomical event, it's on a school day, absurdly late at night, and it's cloudy anyway.

I didn't know what to expect, but it's noticeably dark, not like night-dark but more like dusk-dark. Anything the Sun shined through looked like the eclipse. A really memorable experience!

Woke up today wondering why the heck it was so dark. Eclipses are really cool. Too bad I'm not in the right place to get a full eclipse.

I had partial cloud cover but was able to see for a good while. I saw Venus too!

I was at work, and it was cloudy, so nothing to see here. but I did find this neat clip on imgur, using a colander to cast shadows...

I posted this elsewhere here but, i got to see full annularity! Also saw my leaves casting similar shadows! I didnt use the eclipse glasses but a full proper solar filter! I got 3 pictures at full annular and in april i will be in path of full totality of the 2024 total eclipse. Weather permitting im breaking my full telescope and camera gear for it!

It was so cloudy and dark here we couldn't tell. We were petty far out from the line though.

I got a fancy time lapse of the eclipse, I think it is backwards though.
