chops1sc Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Is anyone else in the line of the eclipse? Fortunately we're in the direct path! I'm pumped up about it! vollychief 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red94chev Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I'm slightly off center in Maryland but I'm still pretty excited to see an 80% eclipse. I hope my welding helmet is sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcaineer Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Looks like 90% here. Don't have glasses to watch directly so I'll just have to settle for seeing the effects. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariner Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/nasa_eclipse_map.jpg Thanks! 80% or so here but it's cloudy go figure ocdrifter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chonke Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 At the hospital we used some xray film to see it. It looked really clear but i forgot to get some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I have the glasses. It's almost half way now here in SW Penna. It's really interesting to see if you look at it as not the funny shape of the sun, but that it's the moon in front of it making the sun look odd. You're really looking at the moon.

falcaineer Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 90% here in Colorado Springs, CO. That was cool. Through the glasses... Zoomed in... Crescent-shaped shadows through the trees... ocdrifter, vollychief and 8675309'SS 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firebuff17 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) About 60% in northern VT. And just past peak. Took a couple shots and about a minute before I got a clear pic that wasn't blurry. Edited August 21, 2017 by Firebuff17 falcaineer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariner Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 That's an awesome video! Where I was it was only about 80-90% but it still got oddly dim out. It was quite eery. chops1sc, ocdrifter and falcaineer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
