Annular eclipse Oct 14

[phatty]

Flights from SEA to Mazatlan were around $1k round trip when I looked a couple weeks ago. Trying to convince my wife for TX to have the best chance. (un) Fortunately it lines up with spring break around here.

we're working something up at Sugarloaf for it too

• All lift service for skiing and snowboarding will be stop at 2p, for fairly obvious reasons.
• The Tram will begin operations for the day at 2p to bring folks to the summit. Limit of 120 people, $40pp. No ski or snowboard gear will be permitted on the viewing Trams. Everyone must return to the base by Tram.

wait, their shutting down the lifts for this? kinda defeats the purpose, no?

you guys planning on keeping the lifts spinning at sugarloaf?

I hear Jim Carrey in my head every time I read this title

I’m gonna head over the hill and ride bikes at Phil’s World and wear silly glasses and stare at the sky on Saturday morning. Should be cool.

I’m planning on the same. Got my glasses last night.

ARGHHHHH....cloud cover in P.C.

If it clears, do you think that I can snap semi-quality photos with a chromapop lens coving my camera's lens?

Depends on what you mean by "camera." Our broadcast engineers said you can point your phone at it for a second, but any other type of sensor would likely be ruined without a solar filter.

Kinda cloudy here in Bend. Who turned the lights down?

[::: :::]

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

[Bunion 2020]

And right as scheduled the clouds roll in.

[Elkhound Odin]

On and off cloudy here, but still pretty cool.

Cloud cover not terrible over off Springhill. Did the paper with a pinhole old school thing. Cool.

Looks like Steens mountain/Alvord desert would have been the place to be

Baked. Light got weird. Got cold out. Still passing by. Feel like grade school.

Also intermittent clouds. Went for a bike ride to watch the crescent in my shadows.

Try the colander...better than the pin hole

In SF, we use fog. Let’s us stare straight at the eclipse with no probs

View from the deck, maybe 5 minutes past peak (80%). Welders glass worked better than eclipse glasses, and both worked better than I expected. Seeing the full annulus would have been cooler, but not worth driving hours for. For zero effort this was great.

Woah.

We were straight square in the path, so got to see a perfect ring. Very cool. Not quite as dramatic as the one in '17 we were in MT for (lived in the path that time too!) but the next one should be a good one. Still, a worthy family event for a great live astronomy demo.
