2024 solar eclipse! Totality over Ohio, New York and Maine in 2-minute time-lapse 

It was safe to watch the totality without protection.

@@astrobaboon8623 There are many people (including myself) that didn't know this, I was always under the impression that to see the eclipse, you need to always use your safety glasses. I wish I knew this or someone told me before it happened!

Many people may not know that you can actually observe the Sun's surface safely, any day of the year with hydrogen-alpha filtered Solar Telescopes, and to see many surface activities such as electromagnetic field lines and textures and even rare solar flares taking place and along the edge of the Sun's disc, these are known as Edge Prominences. I started taking a larger solar telescope across the Nation in 2000 on a 10,000 mile solo road trip and set it up on public sidewalks for thousands of the public to safely view through. I later purchased my own smaller portable 40mm diameter Coronado solar telescope, to take out on the public sidewalks and overseas in the South Pacific Fiji Islands, where I was invited to provide astronomy lessons. Here's my portable hydrogen alpha solar telescope as I'm observing through it and photographing with my modest digital camera. This image of the sun was not the best that I've taken but it's the one that I put together to display in this Digital Photography Review Gallery. > g4.img-dpreview.com/914BC0DBC2A243C9A0C9D327F875F99C.jpg Here's an image of the larger telescope that I borrowed from our local astronomy club here in Portland Oregon to take out onto the streets and allow the public to observe through. *I appeared many times in the local news here in Portland and across the nation in May ~June 2000, and then later overseas in the South Pacific Fiji Islands in 2003~2004 > g3.img-dpreview.com/1D78C32A0CEC4A0E819AA548BC855A7A.jpg

Watched from Tupper Lake, NY! It was stunning! Thank you to all the wonderful guests to our town of Tupper Lake over the past few days. I am so glad the clouds moved and you were able to view the Eclipse Totality. It was a stunning site to behold. I & many others were able to get fabulous pictures & videos of the event. If you are interested in our town, check out my waterfront property at 131, 133, 135 & 137 Lake Simond Road, Tupper Lake, NY. Escape the city. Come up to live in peace, view the stars & enjoy nature's splendor. I hope you all have safe journeys home. Wishing You Blessings & Wonderful Adirondack Memories, Carol King

Was in the middle of a grass field while overlanding in Illinois. We blasted Pink Floyd’s Eclipse during totality.

The Sun of god. The only one that matters. The rest is bunk and lies.
