We happen to be living this year right in the center path of the annular solar eclipse path that is happening on the morning of Saturday, October 14.

If any of you photographers have clues as to how we could best take videos and stills with our iPhones, please pass it along. I'm thinking of just getting a small sheet of solar filter at Amazon and tape it over the camera lens?

Place will get crowded with visitors (big fests like this one), but we plan on staying at our home and just watching from the deck or roof.

If any of you MacResourcers are headed this way, you're more than welcome to park in our driveway and join us for the watching. Just message me.

M1 2020 Mac mini (16G 2T) • Sonoma 14.x • Dual 27" Dell S2722QC monitors • M2 2022 13" MBAir (512G 16G) •

Eastern Oregon, and Nevada are more likely to not have cloudy weather.
Here is the path.

My Oregon place (btfc West) is maybe 30-45 miles NW of you on the 4 min, 30 sec line.

Must be living right, as totality from the last big solar eclipse went directly over my Idaho place. (It was amazing!)

Campers welcome at my place as well.


More info and another good map here:

(Video/map a little way down on the page)

If you're in the totality area, you can just take pics at that time. That's what I did on our honeymoon back in 1998.

Annular eclipse, no totality. The center line will go about 50 miles west of my house in SA TX
Lots of open space there.

“Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." - Eli Weisel

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"I don’t want to see religious bigotry in any form. It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it." - Billy Graham 1981

"Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise" - Barry Goldwater
