J-23 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I tried looking at for a quick second raw, it was amazing, but it was probably a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cool sight nonetheless. I wonder how many ancient peoples lost their hunting skills over events such as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all did in Calgary as well in less of a percentage of totality around 80 here in Cowtown. It was a great view in a clear blue sky. At 11:33 at it's peak.. ambient light was comparable to what you expect in a late summer afternoon. Hardly noticeable in difference. Guess lots of light bounces around our atmosphere from unaffected regions. I only hit 2 cars and 3 buses driving home. But my keyboard is visible now as a somewhat blackish rectangle it'll be better in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah true, but you could still kind of tell that the sun was blocked. I am a space fanatic so this was pretty cool for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapefruits Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Missed it when it was the fullest... stupid customers. Was able to experience the drop in temperature and did get to see some of it though. Looks like the next one worth a watch will be in 2024. Looks like Toronto will be about the best place in Canada to see it. Might be worth the road trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucklehead Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Don't know the story behind this one but was shot today after a lot of planning including a professional photographer. I'll see what else I can learn about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonLever Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Only 7 more years to the next solar eclipse in 2024 but only visible in Eastern Canada. Or another 27 years for one in Western Canada in 2044 Or 28 years for the next coast to coast solar eclipse in 2045. Alas, I doubt I will be still here in 2044 or 2045.
