Eclipse at the bench

[Hateful McNasty]

So shooting a few I figured I'd try a eclipse shot using this low-end phone

Grabbed 2 #11 welding hood lenses out of my gangbox to use as a filter .

This seem like the best one


Need that superzoom astrolens camera ..lol

Few min of passing

Haha it’s like when sometimes a planet is visible and I walk outside with my binoculars and look. It’s really lame. It doesn’t do tricks. It doesn’t make me coffee. It’s just there like a big blob. I was going to get a nice telescope but I figured I’ll just see the lame planet just closer. I’ll just get a rifle scope instead at least I can shoot stuff. It’s not like I can go there lol

I really tried through a welding helmut too, but it didn't work out for me. My state (NH) had totality in the very northern part and the highway was a parking lot from mid-state to the tip. I am glad that I didn't attempt to drive up, massive traffic. From where I was at the smallest the sun got looked just like this "( " I was surprised how bright it still was considering how much was covered. It was darker though, and ducks were flying, looking for the pond, and by coincidence I saw the first cottontail rabbit in the backyard in over 30 years. It was very cool, I would have really liked to see totality but it wasn't in the cards. You did well getting the shot you did.

Got a lens for the phone and glasses from amazon. Got 1 peak theu thick clouds of the sun about 90% covered couldn’t even see in the glasses but just looked at it thru the clouds for a second then the clouds got thick and that was it. Pic to try beforehand

This was thru clouds too
