Hilmar,

>Watch out for your eyes. You may be aware of this, but just in case: looking directly into the sun is dangerous. Looking through a telescope or binoculars is almost certain to cause blindness.

NICE eclipse today!!! it really got pretty DARK... too dark to read w/out a light on (at 8:10
AM)...there were some clouds, but mostly the sun was out in the open.

The poor roosters were SO confused!

Got to see it's image - nothing fancy - just using two 3 x 5 cards, one w/a pin hole. Cool!

Supposedly the best view is south of here, and some tourist boats went out
this morning at 5:00 AM...but they were sold out by the time I heard about the
trips.

Fun.
