The spots, the spots.

Pinhole view was too small, so I looked directly at it through 3 layers of sunglasses (2 were polarized).

Yeah, it was stupid, but I could clearly see the bite.

and how many hours afterward did you STILL see the crescent? ;)

Re: yeah ...

Only about 30 minutes. ;)

pinhole view is ok if you stand back far enough from the surface you're projecting on. The other cool thing is looking at the shadows cast by the leaves.

you still have your vision, RIGHT?
I missed the whole thing, darn it!

I didn't stare, just glanced, so my vision is fine.

I am guessing since I haven't heard from you, that you and yours won't be able to make Saturday? I would love to meet you....some time soon would be good!

If you want to see some pics taken of it by one of the folks in #callahans, go to http://www.darkmare.pittsburgh.pa.us/eclipse/ He used cd's to take the pics through. It actually came out pretty decent.

Most excelent. Thanks

Nice pictures.

Did anyone on the west coast get pictures of the "eclipse-set"? I'd be curious to see a setting eclipsed sun, and I gather that some people might have been in a position to get this.
