Solar Eclipse US Aug 21 2017

Why would people be hoarding groceries during an eclipse?

LOL

I actually have the day off, and I'll be heading to the park at 2pm to check it out.

This has rekindled my interest in getting a sweet telescope. One of these days I will pull the trigger on a Meade Lightbridge 12" Dobsonian scope, or a good beginner astrophotography scope. But the rabbit hole is deep in that hobby.

OK, I had to do some quick research. People are obviously stocking up for the end of the world. It's coming...

I suppose when the trumpet goes off, and shit hit's the fan, then a few extra loaves of bread will allow you to stay inside and avoid the demon scum.

Lulz them fundies. Not exactly known for being the most intelligent people.

Made it through, thankfully got some glasses and shared them with the office and we all went outside to kill an hour or so.

here is a pic I took through my welding hood...

And here I was stupidly looking at high resolution photos online.

If you like Dogg's trippy masterpiece, then you'll love mine through my eclipse glasses with my iPhone 6.

That's my soul up there?

You should send that to NASA, I'm sure it would be very helpful with research.

I tried the same thing (through the glasses) and got the same shitty result...LOL. I wondered how the camera would handle it.

LOL...no shocker there.

Saw that happen on the MSNBC feed. Melania did it too.

Best pic I got at the maximum ~80% in Pittsburgh. I know madman won't like it.



I didn't rotate the picture, it is a portrait picture, displaying in landscape but I'm too fucking lazy, so sue me.

 

[Rot]

OK.. you're standing in a field... with a lot of other people...

...The eclipse is happening... it is pitch dark...

Are you tempted to fondle some hawt chicks ass... and blame it on someone else?

PS. These are the sort of questions that keep me up at nights...

I am in disbelief that not one, but two people here took pictures behind safety goggles. Wow.

I look forward to your next thread "How do eclipse safety glasses work?"

It took a solid pic...it was just round, it wouldn't reflect the blockage.

Like I said, I was just curious what it would look like.

 

[NeoSneth]

that was more fun than expected. I went to a public park where everyone was getting into it.

I didn't care enough to bother. I already have the special glasses to look at it but I left them at home. I saw the eclipse in the 90s. Been there, done that. Lunar eclipses are cooler anyways.

PS: Trump can look at the sun no probs because he is one of those reptile people.

The last one viewed from America was in 1979.

 

[hyper]

got a good look at it w/ a mirror and tinted film

still bright af

 

[bartre]

Of course it was storming all morning and the clouds didn't clear up until long after the eclipse.
I didn't see shit.

 

[Westcb]

I'm in the Knoxville area but photos of the sun didn't turn out at all for me, but a buddy of mine in Nashville got some great shots. Pretty awesome when moments before all the bugs immediately started chirping.

 

[DevilRedeemed]

lovely pic. there's something very fucking awesome in witnessing this type of thing, in a world where we've seen it all before and live amongst apps and text messages

taken in nola with no filter bullshit...
