Thanks for the pictures Gator
but there is nothing like the bino's
for looking at this.

I love these things.

Got the last solar eclipse videoed
and it is awesome. bout 75% of totality here.
The lunar eclipses often give some extraordinary colors
that I wont be able to see.

Sorry...

Wish I had a nicer camera. I hate this stupid Kodak.

How did you video the solar eclipse? Isn't that supposed to kill your eyes or something like that? (I don't know much about them.)

I use a pinhole box and followed the progress. So I had the camera pointed at a piece of white paper. It showed the perfect outline of the sun and the little black bite that was taken out of a bright cookie. You could also see some wispy clouds as they passed by the sun. It was really neat.

You can get all these filters to video it but it was too expensive. And it does burn your retina if you dont have the right type of filters over your eyes. And even then, it does not look as good so I just used the pinhole.

Awesome... I would never have guessed you could do that.
