Posted from Android Date: 10/23/14 12:23 Re: Solar Eclipse today Author: toledopatch We've got a true (and rare for this time of year) sunny day in NW Ohio, although there's enough grub on the western horizon that I'm not sure how much sun we'll be able to see at ~17:40 ET. On the other hand, if we can see it, there should be enough atmosphere between my eyes and the sun at that hour that I can look at it (and photograph it) without worrying about burning anything out.

Curiosity: DO • Use a solar filter to protect your DSLR camera sensor Does anyone do this??? Is it really even necessary? My camera still works and I can still see.... http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?2,3556798 /Mitch Date: 10/23/14 15:19 Re: Solar Eclipse today Author: toledopatch Sun got into the cloud horizon before I or my camera could distinguish any eclipse features. I shot it at 1/8000, f32.

Right about 6pm i stared at sun with sunglasses and some clouds helping and could just see a bit of a indent on right side then soon it was lost to the clouds. Im in Mt Victory, OH.

Relevant lyrics (to teh best of my recollection): IF moon were a cookie It wouldn't be fine Because if I ate it, then it wouldn't shine I'd go to the window and look up at night But no little moonbeams would give me their light So I hate to say it but it's clear to me It's lucky the moon is not a cookie Date: 10/24/14 15:58 Re: Solar Eclipse today Author: wabash2800 Actually, I think it looks great looking through the trees!
