took this picture in 2012 of the back windscreen of my car
that was the halo of the sun

[matr1x]

I remember that! Excellent shot!

[redmanjp]

That is a terrible idea. I just met and gave 2 forum members glasses.

Still have glasses by chance and could pass in Port of Spain tomorrow? Would like to get one.

There will be a predictably sharp increase of eye doctor visits within the next 2 weeks due to solar maculopathy.

[GrimRaper]

So I guess work would be finishing at 2 for most people tomorrow ahaha

Auto darkening for it...

[ADONI]

I forgot my welding helmet home.... I was studying to rent a $5 per minute here in work...

[aspsounds]

I planning on using my phone camera and watching it on the LCD screen.

[Les Bain]

I think NASA said they streaming it, so don't stress if you miss it in person.

Was thinking this is a bad idea however found this article

But just as staring at the eclipse could cause permanent eye damage without special protection, is there danger of burning out your smartphone’s camera sensor? NASA says probably not — but there are still dangers involved without proper equipment.

Auto darkening not working

[cryotec]

i go take in a livestream for this one, too lazy to look outside

[ADONI]

Outside hott no tail!!!

[agent007]

It has started, bottom right of the sun is partially covered at this time

Mine nit good for arc welding at all. Only good enough for plasma cutting. Probably good enough for aluminum welding, but have not tried.




So far, I've seen totality about 5 different times live streamed. Even seen the iss pass in front of the sun with 40% coverage with the moon.

With all the solar flares seen on the cameras, I suspect seeing it in real would be mind blowing.

Mehh... sombody go post ah time lapse fk that heat

[sMASH]

Like 1/4 of the sun covered right now. Camera and phone not getting it, even through the welding mask. But pin hole cards board showing it.

Saw this, wasn't taking it on but I happened to peep outside through the lunch room, had some nice clouds around it blocking most of the glare so i took a chance to watch.

[buckredan]

Just go to any hardware store buy arc welding glasses cost about $5.00 that works fine
