Anyone bother to watch it?

I was looking at it in my backyard, through sunglasses and a welding helmet... for only seconds at a time. But I was happy to see that it was actually happening. (Not a maintenance window for the flat earth sun-repair team?? )

It was surprising in that when you could see the sun obscured by maybe 30% there was still enough sunlight that you wouldn't even know unless you were looking directly at it through something.

You could feel the 'heat' of the day disappear though. It was light but not much heat, which my solar HWS demonstrated.

I wonder what it was like in Exmouth where it was more of a thing?

I set up special scientific apparatus so I could view the eclipse.

Holes in the shed roof provided me with many eclipses.

Best eclipse happens every night & as a bonus you're standing on the dark side of it.

There were a few people here in Bali looking at it through slits in their fingers. Hope they didn't do any damage.

That's ISO 12312. So should be no problem

I felt like a bit of a dunce earlier when a friend pointed this out too that i could have just poked a small hole in something and watched it that way . Oh well, it's good to see there are smarter people than me around.
