Solar Eclipse 2017

[USAFRet]

August 21, 2017, all the way across the continental US landmass.

From my current location, we will see a partial. Assuming no cloud cover, of course.

You must have actual glasses or filters, certified for looking at the actual Sun.
ISO 12312-2 certified glasses or filters for your camera/telescope.

You WILL go blind otherwise. Or your camera sensor will burn out.

My glasses arrived today, this is a camera test image through the 'glasses'.
This was taken at 3:45PM, on a bright sunny day.

Before the actual 2-3 minutes on Aug 21....test, test, test. You only get one shot at this.
There is no do over.

That's not bad at all. Well done.

And, except for cropping, that is exactly as it came out of the camera.
No post exposure or sharpness changes.
