TOTAL ECLIPSE in Oregon

[Rhaven Blaack]

So I just experienced a once in a life time event that is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! The Solar eclipse passed right over Oregon. I live in Independence (just south of Salem). My family and I were able to see the totality (at about 10:17 am pst) of the eclipse. Granted the totality only lasted for about 2 minutes, but it was AMAZING!!!

THIS LOOKS FANTASTIC!!! This is a very spectacular picture! Almost like a black hole in the sky. A few weeks ago we had a full moon eclipse but unfortunately the weather was so bad that we were unable to see anything. The picture reminds me of what I am having the Galactica crew experience in my fan fiction story "Exodus, Part 2" (yaknow, the scene I told you about, when the crystal "got hot"..! hint, hint!) ..!

A song by Sound garden pops to mind...

I live in Atlanta Ga, but went up to Calhoun Falls SC to see the ecplipse... totally awesome

I didn't get totality, but I got this from my yard with a cheap Russian spotting scope and an amazon tripod on a piece of card stock. 10 minutes before I noticed the image of the sun had sun spots on it. I'm hooked, solar astronomy here I come.

Wonderful images..! Just have to put my "cool" glasses on..!

To get good ISO certified solar shade 15 glasses I had to order 25 of 'em. Luckily I got them cheap... I ended up giving away 15 pair

I just went to my local pharmacy and purchased 5 pairs for only $2.00 per pair.

We got to see a fart's version of the eclipse compared to what you saw. Funny thing is I can still see it!! (Bad joke). You really did see something awesome, great pictures.

My pics were from near Wilmington, NC.

There is no way I'm going to put a product up to my eyes and look at the sun. Too many failure opportunities for me to trust them. I understand ISO, but I also understand manufacturing and selling, especially on low price items that are in very high demand.

+++ BREAKING NEWS!!! +++

Sorry guys, but truth to be told. What you have seen was NO REAL ECLIPSE. And it was NO MOON. You have been fooled by the evil Galactic Empire. Here comes the photo evidence fresh from JTA:

"That's no moon"... still one of of my favorite quotes from moviedom.
