This time going to ID so that there will be no clouds. Hoping to catch the shadow from a bluff.

I saw the 1979 eclipse from a location in Manitoba. On eclipse day there were high cirrus clouds but not so thick they obscured the event. This allowed us to see the onrushing shadow. Perhaps we would have seen the shadow anyway but I don't know because that was the only eclipse I have seen. The shadow was an awesome sight. It was an enormous thing that swept across the entire sky (roughly west to east) at an incredible speed (it seemed like only a second or two). It was otherworldly to see something so large, moving so fast in total silence.Deekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227802798728715787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-412736415849843412017-08-15T20:50:29.694-07:002017-08-15T20:50:29.694-07:00Having been centerline on an annular eclipse in th...Having been centerline on an annular eclipse in the past I'll have to second that Matt. Saw the May 1994 annular eclipse in Rochester NY..nice dimming but absolutely no possibility of looking at the solar disk directly much less observe any corona. Headed to Salem Saturday night. Joining the Mary's Peak enthusiasts while well off centerline looks like a stunning setting being on a mountain top.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03403703379230011143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-19878567722966738672017-08-15T19:02:47.732-07:002017-08-15T19:02:47.732-07:00Thank you, Cliff.

You've got to be within the path of totality to see the corona, and all the other goodies. GET TO THE PATH.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16177881248338574850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-27184482254635137732017-08-15T18:43:09.264-07:002017-08-15T18:43:09.264-07:00Will give it a go.. drive to Oregon Sunday night. ...Will give it a go.. drive to Oregon Sunday night.

Won't have to pay a dime to see it as I bought my glasses years ago. We are almost directly on the center of the totality path.
