This is freaking cool. Feels like overcast but not. Getting colder.

Still around 30 min from peak.  

It looks like a banana.

This should be a live view occasion!

Looks crazy out side. Like im wearing sun glasses, but im not.

Temp dropped a good bit too.

Well it's getting larger now. Wish I could have been closer. Was still freaking amazing. Burnt a hole through one pair of glasses. Luckily didn't hurt my eyes.

the-pi-guy

Burnt a whole through your glasses?  :o

And actually it'll take like 12 hours before you would notice any eye damage.

Mmm_fish_tacos

I need to see these glasses.

Legend

Yeah I was trying to set up a telescope to see it. Was out of focus and focused it into a point. Burnt a dot out of the glasses before I moved them. I was holding them against the eye piece, not wearing them.

Feels almost like a dream outside.

Mmm_fish_tacos

the-pi-guy

Overcast and couldn't see the sun here.  Maybe for the first 30 minutes, but didn't have glasses.
