Oooo...Sun setting...I can triple up the sunglasses and not get blinded.

Can't be too careful, Michio Kaku was on a news show this evening and he said Galileo went nearly blind looking through a telescope at an eclipse.

there is another event....venus is gonna traverse the sun

no, not happening, I was going to just let the tramp do her waltz and strut her stuff, but I called it off, I have other things to do.

BUT, on the bright side, (no pun intended), the sun will shine fully on Uranus next week, stay tuned.....

The NASA site said Redding was the place to be.... so im in Redding. We bought wielder glasses to watch it with.

Pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried and tried and tired!!! i could not get a good pick to save my soul! I think it took a special lenses. I was just using my more or less point and shoot camera with no special lenses. I tried taking some with the goggles and glasses.... but still could not get a good shot!

Wouldn't work with my two...One is a a pair of Revo H20s (polarized) the other Randolph aviators (not polarized).

An unexposed plate works...I watched the 1980 near-total eclipse through a 4X5.
