Annular eclipse Oct 14

[ghosthop]

Cloud cover worked out that you could briefly view the eclipse slightly after peak with the naked eye. Kiddo was really excited about the diffuse light this morning and kept pointing in the direction of the sun.

I cannot wait for the total eclipse this April. Our family is heading upstate.

I bailed on trying to go find a spot at Diamond Lake — the cloud mapping fx wasn’t looking good
i’m feeling like i shoulda just gone down & taken my chances…never know if you don’t go…dummy!

Utterly overcast in pdx

We made a leap of faith at 0530 and headed south under cloudy skies. Original destination was a snopark just north of Chemult. Make bacon/eggs on my camp stove.

Then we found people already gathered in the parking lot of The Mohawk Restaurant, Lounge, Taxidermy and Collectibles in Crescent

So stopped there rather than driving another 15 min for 15 sec more of totality.
Great breakfast - finished up just in time for it to start

py iPhone pics. First one through foggy welders goggles



A little over 4 min of totality - guy next to us in the lot said he would send me some from his big ass camera when he got home. Will fold in when he follows through.

Not as cool at 3min of totality under clear skies from my yard in ‘17, but worth the 90min drive.

Went down to Solomons Temple near Cathedral Valley. Had 4 minutes with the solid ring. Unfortunately my best pics with my phone were right after the peak.

I took the filter out of some glasses and put it directly over the camera lens under the phone case and it worked way better than holding it next to the lens.

I must not be far from fastfred in the desert. Light got all trippy for a bit.

We found clouds just south of the center line near Winnemucca. It was actually pretty cool to be able to look at it with regular sunglasses at times, though. No pics worth sharing.

The trip was well worth it though: Ms ce's first overnight moto and first dirt riding, plus a hot spring visit.

I ended up staying in Durango and seeing about 90+% of the ring. We were hosting a bike build with Silver Stallion and their crew of Navajo guys in the park across the street from the bike shop, and I didn’t want to get wadded up in traffic by MV on the way back from Phil’s.
Navajo folks stay inside for the duration of the eclipse (and aren’t supposed to go to the bathroom either), so they chilled in the bike shop for a few hours and worked on their own bikes until the moon was completely past the sun at 12:04pm.
It was a cool astronomical and cultural experience.

Some pics from Saturday-Sunday. With or without an eclipse, going to the desert is always a good time. The one sun pic with the triangle peak is during the eclipse at about 90% but shitty iphone doesn't show it, at all. The other triangle peak shot is was when the color temperature everywhere became orange and warm during the peak of it. A fun weekend wandering around and following some random washes off-trail.

Really cool pics in here.

Those are amazing shots @muted.
Where is that?

As mentioned earlier, the guy next to me Sat AM had a really nice camera, and was kind enough to share his work. Thanks Rob!

Awesome pics, Muted! So much fun out in the Last Chance desert. Wasn't sure I was going to travel in April, but now I will for sure.

Great photos everyone. Mostly thick overcast here in the northeast, I had other things to do than try to wait for a window to see 15% coverage

Hopefully April is better!
