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. Spoiler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 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 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
