Bummer! I was hoping this would work. But I'm not in the path of totality so not sure what I'll be seeing anyway.I would suggest not Laura!
You really should not attempt to view or take photographs of the eclipse without a proper solar filter.
You risk damaging your retina and it is likely to be harmful to your camera’s sensor (at least) to expose it to the sun, for any length of time, without the proper filter...
Take care whichever way you choose to view it and please stay safe...
I did read that once the moon completely covers the sun you can look at it... but only during that time.I did see a post that Apple said the IPhone would not be damaged by the eclipse/sun.
But better safe than sorry about looking at it via the phone. Bummer is right...this would have been perfect
You only have one pair of eyes, why take the risk?...I did read that once the moon completely covers the sun you can look at it... but only during that time.

We did the Pinhole In A Box thing and it worked well. I took pictures with my phone but made sure not to look directly at the phone or sun while snapping. There were many pictures that didn't even show the sun! LOL
What was most interesting was the sun was always bright and round in the photos...no dark moon covering it. Though there was always a 'reflection' that appeared in the pix and showed the eclipse. Strange.

I barely noticed a change in the light... was hoping it would get darkish, but I guess at around just 72% totality it wasn't enough to really block the light. Getting totally dark must have been amazing.The light was very weird for a few hours, but nothing huge.
We had 73%, but we were so fogged in you couldn't even see where the sun was, much less see the eclipse. But it didn't matter anyway because I was at the dentist.I barely noticed a change in the light... was hoping it would get darkish, but I guess at around just 72% totality it wasn't enough to really block the light.

People still believe that????I like all the idiot flat earthers claiming that this proves the earth is flat... Some vids on youtube if you want a good laugh...
I was in North Carolina where we had 99% but it was cloudy during that time...I got a pretty good picture using the camera with the glasses during partial cover. It was still much better just looking through the glasses!View attachment 98124
Thanks! (Still wish I could have figured out how to make it clearer :-/Wow!!
