Very happy you made it Armando, it must have been quite an experience and well done!

Although I was far off the path of totality, thanks to work travel I was able to experience the partial phase skipping back outside after getting my boarding pass at Los Angeles International airport. The terminal drop-off area was overhanging, but I was lucky that a part of the road happened to be blocked off with cones so that it was safe to stay out there. A few others gathered too, but most without proper means for safe observation. So I used the opportunity for a litte outreach activity, giving proper warnings and instruction on how to observe multiple pinhole projections on a piece of paper. Here is a "simulation" of their result with the 300mm f/4 PF +TC-14E +Baader Astrosolar film OD 5.

One day, my son will be ready for a Dremel and epoxy.

Nikon Zf, 50mm f/1.4 AI.

Plus soldering iron and some coding?  :D
Looks to me like he's on the right path to become a maker.

Thank you all

My plan was to shoot totality with the x-t3, but I was not able to get a decent shot and swapped back to the Nikon V1.

Thanks Daniel. That little Ricoh is a real powerhouse, very sharp across the frame.

Winter without any ending? Hopefully, not.

One more praise Armando. I agree to previous comments. It is also a great ambiance and surreal take in the fringe of classic scifi creations. Lovely
