Today was the day! The 2017 solar eclipse that traveled across the USA. I enjoyed the event on the ground of the Delaware AeroSpace Education Foundation (DASEF) in Smyrna DE, along with a few thousand other folks. I wasn’t able to find a screw-on filter for my camera lens, but I was able to get a small square of the mylar that the solar protection glasses are made of and made a DIY lens cover to use (with the help of a toilet paper tube and duct tape. Not fancy but it did the job! You can even see sunspots on a few of the pics, which is a neat little added bonus.
It was also cool to experience the light change, even though here in Delaware we only got 80% coverage.
