Today we stayed at home so that we could see the solar eclipse. Supposed to be a big thing because we would get close to 100% total eclipse.Couple things I learned.
1) The couple % points matter quite a bit. We never did see a total blackening like the folks we saw on the TV experienced (nor did we see the 'diamond' and the ring of fire).
2) Telephoto lens will burn, so don't use them unless you have bought a filter. I did not dare use it for fear of breaking the lens, the camera, and my eyes. Ended up using my phone for most of it, which actually provided a somewhat ok shot.
3) Do not stare directly into the sun without the special glasses. Very very important.
