Vlog #89 - Eclipse

Comments

Russell Tuss

Out here in Oregon, I was at the Office. It was pretty neat. The eclipse was interesting. The drop in temperature was really noticeable. In the leaves you could take pictures of all the crazy shadows. :) Some of the guys brought telescopes. We had a projector on an 8-inch telescope shining the light on a small screen. The ten inch telescope had a solar filter so we could see the sunspots and such. My boss got a great photo through it, at the very beginning when you could see the moon's surface illuminated quite well.

We had about a 95% where I'm at in SD too. Weird af. As you're talking bout the dimness I can relate to trying to describe it. It's so hard to. It's just weird and beautiful. Crazy how bright the sun still is though even when it's covered up so much. Haha. Thanks for the vlog 2! It was nice seeing your experience. x3!

Pretty cool! Here in Michigan we had only a partial eclipse. I'd estimate 80% coverage is the most we got. Luckily the clouds cleared up enough that most of the time I was looking through a thin haze layer with only occasional total cloud coverage blocking the sun for a couple minutes at a time. I had a video camera and DSLR set up with variable ND filters set to their darkest, and I was looking through a piece of welding glass to see it myself. I did look for projections of the sun cast through the holes in the leaves of the trees, but none of them was a small enough hole to clearly project the sun. I did accomplish it with the hole in the top of my bottle of sunscreen. Oh, and the temperature felt like it dropped a good 10 degrees. Keep an eye out, 2! The next total eclipse in the US is going to be in 2024 and will run from southern Texas up through Ohio and finish off in Maine. The last time I've seen even a partial eclipse I was maybe 8 or 10 back in the mid 80s.

You don't look half bad scruffy, Maybe late mid 20s if i didn't know better.

I live in Maryland and spent the day in the car with my folks to a rest stop in southern Virginia to see about 90% eclipse. It is a trippy seeing direct sunlight and it being dim. Looking forward to the 2024 eclipse when I can crash with family in the path of totality.

Is your neighborhood all ways that still? I mean combined with the eclipse this looks like something from some found footage horror film, or was that just me?

Yeah, those crescent shapes in the shadows are really odd o.o
