Staying away so far. 2 hours to totality and the sun is out occasionally. Sure take it.Reservoir Dog wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 1:44 pmWeather Network says you're expecting thunderstorms.CentralTexasCrude wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 1:27 pm 4 hours to go- fog just burned off and I see some blue skies.

Hear an Air Force jet high overhead. One is supposed to race with the eclipse all the way to Maine

Re: Direct bullseye in a month
Okay, so I went and saw the Eclipse out on my ranch. Picked a high spot with the best view of everything. Here's my takeaway. It was a bit cloudy for the first hour when the moon is gradually covering up the sun. Which turned out to be okay since that is a long fucking hour of not much happening. the clouds gave me a break from worrying about watching. But the clouds broke sporadically enough to see the gradual eclipsing of the sun. As it approached totality the skies cleared and it was an unobstructed view of the sun from then on. The last few seconds of the moon covering the sun are the most spectacular. You can sort of sense it is getting darker and cooler (similar to heavy cloud cover), and then suddenly its just like a ring of fire up in the sky. That light ring remains through the whole thing, which I wasn't expecting. I thought you had that ring for a second and then it got black for 4 minutes. It never got close to as dark as I was expecting. I had heard it got dark like night time. Not even close to that. I do a lot of night driving on the ranch and without a spotlight you can't see shit. I could have easily driven with no headlights in the peak of totality. The last lgood view was this red beam of light that starts at one point on the ring around the sun and then, from that point, the light reappears. and it happens fast and after that you can't see shit without glasses.
and shade 12 on a welder's lens is fine. I used it on my phone to take pictures. I never noticed anything peculiar with wildlife, as I had heard tons of stories. No animals thinking it was night. No birds doing weird stuff. And I was parked where I see deer, feral hogs, coyotes, duck, geese, beaver, otters, you name it. I saw or heard nothing out of the ordinary animal or wildlife related.
I would highly recommend the experience. I give it 8.5 out of 10 stars.

Re: Direct bullseye in a month
Maybe it was because you were not near the bullseye on the totality, but it was dark as night here. Pitch black. All the night lights in the town popped on. Birds went total silent. While I was videoing on my phone, about 3 minutes in, I noticed movement in the sky. A group of 10 or so hawks that appeared to be freaked out flying around together confused.Animal wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 8:56 pm Okay, so I went and saw the Eclipse out on my ranch.

Re: Direct bullseye in a month
maybe. I was definitely not a bullseye. In my area, the length of totality was about 3 min and 35 seconds, I think. I would have had to drive about 40 miles east to get the the centerline of totality.CentralTexasCrude wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 9:23 pmMaybe it was because you were not near the bullseye on the totality, but it was dark as night here.

Re: Direct bullseye in a month
And in the last hour here, clouds rolled in blocking the Sun. So, not sure how much or not that might have contributed to the darkness. Who knows.

I'll post my video of the eclipse soon. Anyone know of a superior posting platform other than Igmur? Used it years ago, what a pain in the ass. Like pulling teeth.
