Thanks 89th! It's just fun. I don't consider it work. Nobody pays me for it.

Ridiculous superstition still governs the minds of many.

Yes because standing outside wearing tin foil glasses and holding colanders up to sunlight is, like, not at all weird.

I took 271 photos of it today from my back patio.

89.1% Partial Eclipse. Decided to stay home this time.
Canon 50D on a fixed tripod w/18-200mm Zoom at 200mm f5.6 1/1600 sec exposures, ISO 100. Baader Planitarium Solar Film Filter.

271 photos aligned, registered and output to avi movie format using PIPP (Planetary Imaging Pre-Processor)
It's not perfect, but it's still pretty cool.

You can be MTG stupid. You can be Lauren Boebert stupid.

Buy you'll never achieve Hank Johnson Sheila Jackson Lee stupid.

She’s an expert on NASA because she could once see the headquarters from her back yard.

I think the US congress might be mostly made up of gases.

[Renauda]

@Doctor-Phibes

Noxious gases at that.

[Copper]

She is the smart one who made it all the way to the podium.

Those in the audience can only dream.

That school has a "perform to standards" rate of about 36%.
