Not me grinning ear to ear! I spent all day today making a nice color version of the 3D #eclipse Sun and woah its working!

Headed to Dallas, #Texas on Sunday and was gonna drop this off at a studio in Fort Worth for their fundraiser auction, but I think its too big for a carry on.

I will admit- its not as round as perfect as I want, but definitely getting there!

Excited to see it age in fully- should be nice an bright.

After pumping checking its color for air leaks before adding the mercury. Hallelujah! No leaks! This is pre mercury.
Eclipse spring sphere sitting naturally while hooked up to the pump via its side tubulated mercury trap. I was able this time to bury the side tubulation inside the shape. I was afraid it would be tough to remove the mercury trap, but it was way easier than I thought it would be.
