[Image description: a collage of seven photos, showing a view of the increasing eclipse, totality, and decreasing eclipse through the lens of a telescope.]
Bonus shot of the totality projected on a kid's hand through the sighting scope:
I impulse bought a cheap (sub-$100) telescope for viewing the eclipse, and caught this series to and from totality

Very cool! I think in this case it's called "annularity" and not "totality"

Awesome photos! Thanks for sharing and glad the weather cooperated.
I'm looking forward to the one in April, going to set aside some time to see it.

That's a great shot, I wasn't even aware it was happening today. Where was this located?

Is it still called totality if it's an annular eclipse?
Dempf@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 2y
No, I believe it's called an annularity.

Fantastic. I went down to Nevada to get a spot in a 100% area. Nice and clear view right until 100% and then the clouds blocked it out for a few minutes. So awesome.

did you have to add a filter or was that part of the kit?
thrawn21@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Yep, I bought the telescope for $70 and separate solar filter for $20. Can dm links if you're interested.

I am curious, also. Very cool! I used a welding hood with my phone and it added a green tint. Not as cool.
