Eclipse2023
Two poor annular eclipse photos taken Saturday October 14, 2023, around 830 am. This is an inadequate version of the setup I built for the 2017 total solar eclipse in Idaho Falls. Saturday was on a 1/5 overcast day, 80 miles north of the "complete" annular eclipse.
Many rainy days beforehand, there was no opportunity to calibrate the setup, or add and tweak the projector lens, which would have displayed a 6 inch image rather than a half inch image. Without an hour of calibration on a cloudless day, the projector lens would have been worse than useless.
