Eclipse Report

Following on from yesterday's post, we did get a glimpse of the eclipse at about 5:20pm (so I did convert those Universal Times to CDT correctly after all). I used a pair of binoculars (and no, I didn't try looking at the eclipse through them - I may be a bit of an idiot at times but I'm not terminally daft), holding them so that an image was projected onto a flat piece of wood in the shade. The image was wobbly because I was hand-holding the bins, but you could still see clearly that there was a chunk out of the side of the sun.
