Midnight sun eclipse right now!

Post by normal » Wed Jun 01, 2011 10:09 pm

I just watched a partial eclipse of the midnight sun!

I projected the sunlight onto the wall through a binocular! :ab: :{D

Aren't you clever Normal.

Is that all the eclipse you got?

It was a bit more eclipsed before I remembered about it (I think) and managed to find the binoculars :hehe:

And then I looked at it a bit, and had to try and find the camera. And then when I finally got the picture it was even less eclipsed than when I saw it in the binoculars :hehe:

Oh well, at least you got something and you shared. That's good.

How is the baby?
