    What a strange feeling. My eyes think it's just cloudy, but my mind knows it's not.

    Success!

    One of the guys I work with had a pair of glasses, I got lucky and snagged a pic through them... kinda hard to see, and prob won't look as good as I see it, but here it is:

    Here's my high-tech viewing equipment:

    My high-tech image :p about an hour before the height of our coverage.

    FYI Even only 23% of full sun is pretty bright. Looks weird inside looking out though, like there's a storm coming, making it darker.

    Awesome! Love the viewer :D

    Here is a zoomed / cropped image of the best shot I got... I know its not the greatest but to me it is! Haha. At least shows the shape a bit better.

    Amazing!

    Things are growing brighter again now for us. We had sun the whole time, but it was dim. It was such a weird feeling I can't even find proper words for, but even with the Sun it just felt like something was not normal.

    Does your friend work for NASA?!

    That is a pretty amazing picture!

    Me too. Luckily, 1 in the 25+ people I work with was smart enough to plan ahead, ha! Next time maybe I will be too!

    I didn't expect to get this excited about it, but it was a really really cool experience. :)
