Eclipse 2017 Wrap Up
August 21, 2017 we had an partial eclipse near Boston. I made a binocular pinhole-camera (after failed *shattered* smoky glass attempt – probably lucky because that method is controversial, safety-wise). The backyard was buggy, so I ended up on the deck. Binoculars are reversed, with the larger end facing the sun, so it magnifies the image a bit.. Two pieces of cardboard are needed, and one has to be white. As shown in pics, some duct tape holds the brown cardboard in place on the binoculars. Got a good response on FB, not bad for a last minute project. (:
