My camera is a failure. :/

better than mine. that looks pretty cool.



btw it's almost 'total' now.
 
Anyone know of a fast place I can upload a video of the eclipse? Megaupload seems to be capping me to about 30kbps.
 
I AM FREEZING MY FUCKING ASS OFF GAH

Anyway, just taking a break right now while it's in totality. Going to try snapping a few shots through the telescope when it comes out. A 25mm eyepiece with an 8inch f5 magnifies it just enough to fill the whole view.

Is it over? Or is the best of it over?
Nope! It's in totality right now and will be exiting totality shortly, so you'll see the reddening effect, followed by the neat shadow effect.

Try to remember that's the earth making that shadow when you're looking at it. :D
 
Wow, my family all just went outside in this freezing weather to get a good look. Fucking beautiful. Clear skies, so many stars clearly showing, so so beautiful.

I couldn't have asked for more perfect viewing conditions!

Heavy snowfall earlier scrubbed the atmosphere clean :D

It's so awesome. I've been missing these things for years.

(Also first gaf post yay!)
 
Woot, clouds gave way at the right time... very cool. The moon covered in dark brown gauze. Kinda looks like Shark Week sludge.
