We had a super fun (surprisingly tiring) afternoon watching the . The big zoom lens, telescope, and solar filters worked great. Neighbors came out and we watched the sun spots get covered up. The telescope had enough detail to see the craggily edges of the moon. Milli enjoyed the sun and observed some diffraction from inside. One neighbor said “you have the coolest gizmos on the block!” All things considered, it was a lovely experience, no regrets.

About 1/3 of the sun is being blocked by the moon, photo shot with 600mm lens and solar filter, dark sun spots are visible in a couple of places
Outdoor scene in a neighborhood, silver cylindrical telescope mounted on a tripod sits in the grass, blue sky with white clouds above, a large tree is on the left and a row of houses is on the right
Milli, a small grey cat, walks on a beige carpet in the sun from a window, small crescent moons are visible where the blinds have diffracted the light from the eclipsed sun
