Here are some pics I took of the eclipse. I viewed it through floppy disk media, a trick I learned in the 80's. In the 1st pic the orange dot is what the sun looks like through the diskette. The 2nd pic is blown up images about 10 minutes apart during the eclipse.   |

We viewed it by using a set of binoculars as a viewer, with the image shining through and hitting a background behind it.
I didn't take any pics of it but it would make an image of 1-3" depending on how far back you put the background paper.
I remember a good one around 1991-92 that we did this and it was more like 2/3 covered, and almost made the day look dim.

Looks like Pac Man. I was really hoping to be able to view it, but was blocked by trees.

I used my binoculars to see it too, the doctor says I should have my full eyesight back in a couple of weeks.
