Total Eclipse


Recommended Posts

Today is total Eclipse day here in Eastern Canada.  I'm currently in Southern Quebec visiting my folks to watch it, looks like we will have good weather.  

Note to pendants, yes I will wear proper eclipse glasses 

Have any other P&Bers witnessed a total solar eclipse?

Not a total but the one we had here in 2015 was 90%. Was very strange and the temperature dropped quite noticeably and all the birds shut up.  Felt like the sun had been dimmed down a notch or two as well. 

My next door neighbour Mike brought out his 8 inch reflector for the occasion.

Enjoy and take some photos.

Once upon time there was light in his life?

He was hungry for a sandwich.  Was disappointed to get a Subway when he was holding out for a hero.

Hearts were happy with their win against St Mirren but nobody wants to talk about it because of some stupid solar event in Canada.

The last time I witnessed a total Eclipse was in August 1999 while I was at work in Aberdeen. It occurred around mid-morning, and when it happened, the street lights switched on :)

I didn't take photos because I didn't have a good lens, but it's a pretty magical experience.  It went almost completely dark, the street lights came on, the Corona was clearly visible and it was just a surreal feeling.  We got about 3 minutes of totality
