There was a big cloud moved over and I didn't think I got any of the peak, but when I was reviewing it I did for a few seconds. Pretty happy about it.
Are those binoculars, Delta?
Nice pictures!
Here in the East SF Bay Area viewing was good. Started 5:16 and peak was at 6:33. Made a fancy pinhole viewing box and then decided, aw why not, poked a hole in scrap cardboard and saw the same view projected on the wall of a building. Very slim crescent at the peak. The big walnut tree in the neighbor’s yard was throwing faint sickle-shaped shadows through its leaves and they looked like the ripples of running water.
It’s fun to observe the local bird life during a solar eclipse. First they start peeping nervously, then they shut up, then when the eclipse is past its peak they break out the morning songs. :)
Had my pin hole box and camera and all the supplys I thought I needed. Good thing I forgot these in the glovebox. They made the whole thing worth while.
