TOday I had put a 1,5 hour meeting on my cal to watch the eclipse. I’d set my 8″ telelscope up to track the sun with a solar filter.. it made it so fun  to watch. We were able to watch it from end to  end… s

 

here are a few still shots.. 

 

 

and here’s a simple moview I made of still pictures I took through the telescope..

we also experimented with other ways to view.. including using binoculars. 

and soem simple pinhole prrojectors we made 

 

 

we watched it streaming from nasa on our phones too.. .. Here’s totality from soemwhere in Nebraska 

 

ome friends dropped by .. so we were able to  share the view with them 

the eclipse made me think about sam…my eclipsed son..  

 

 

Max was down in Nashville and called from there.. I hope he got to see well !

 

Man.. what an amazing sight.. Really humbling.. It was great to see the country  come together to watch ..

maybe it will help reset things…   hope so !

 

nite all, nite sam
