59% Obscured

 

This is as much sun as will be blocked this eclipse here where I live.

It's obviously dimmer than it should be and the sun angle is wrong for this level of light.

It's disconcerting, even though I know what's going on.

  1. We were supposed to be at 55% and I didn't think it was dimmer than usual when I went outside. Cloudless so easy to watch with filtered glasses.

    I wasn't able to get the camera on the telescope so no pics. The geometry of the tripod and angle of the sun made it hard to set up.
