Annular Solar Eclipse

Post by duffman91 »

Quite a few of you are astronomy fans, am I the only one that watched the annular solar eclipse?

We used a telescope to project the image for safe viewing. It was an impromptu setup. With a bit more money and planning, it could have been epic.

That's pretty cool. I didn't even know there was a solar eclipse.

Rad photos. Didn't catch it myself, it was cloudy over here. But certainly heard of it!

Nice... that's a great photo. Part of me wonder if it's entirely real but either way... cool beans!

Photoshopped, I can tell by the pixels and the watermark in the bottom left corner.

"3D Model SNS Cg - Pixiv (C)A4size"

Sucks that it's not real, but pretty good work nonetheless.
