The Total Eclipse of the Sun

That's what I heard, and they are free.

I will be SOOOOO happy when this is over. It is becoming a pain in the butt at work. Now I have to help with parking and bus loading for our district. I will need to leave extra early for work and getting home after work may take a couple hours when it is usually 45 minutes.

I heard it will be clear on TV no matter where you live.

I’ve practiced photographing the sun again today. Do believe that I’ve got it down pat.
The only thing that I’m anxious about photographing is using a 5 ND filter during the partial eclipse and no filter during totality, where shutter speeds need changing for capturing the transitions and corona. I’ll have three cameras on Auto Exposure Bracketing during the totality using fresh batteries.
Keeping the beer cold and remembering to bring an opener are other concerns.

Then what? Before the 6/12 annular eclipse I ordered 25 pairs of eclipse glasses and passed them out to my friends. I ran out and a few people were mad at me. This time I ordered 50. I'm down to one and still passing them out.

I notice the path of totality goes right over the Dragon. Meetup? You could kill two bucket-list items in about an hour.
