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.

yeah ...

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.

I missed the whole thing, darn it!

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

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.

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.
