ya, it was pretty neat. Thanks for the pics... my camera battery was dead :(

So when is the next solar eclipse? off to google I go....

.... K I'm back. Ahem : "The next solar eclipse will occur on August 1, 2008, and will be total."

The Solar Eclipse that takes place on August 1, 2008, will be a total eclipse of the Sun with a magnitude of 1.039 that will be visible from a narrow corridor through northern Canada (Nunavut), northern part of Russia, western Mongolia, and China. It belongs to the so-called midnight Sun eclipses, as it will be visible from regions experiencing Midnight sun.
In Siberia, the total eclipse zone will pass through populated places, including the "capital of Siberia" Novosibirsk, and the cities of Nizhnevartovsk, Barnaul, Biysk. Greatest eclipse duration will be reached near the town of Nadym in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug in Northern Siberia.
A partial eclipse will be seen from the much broader path of the Moon's penumbra, including eastern North America and most of Europe and Asia.

Ya, I got that, but the lunar eclipse just got me to thinking when the next solar eclipse is... since I've never seen one. Looks like I won't be making the one this year either. That is unless I score a ticket to Siberia, lol

well at least will be able to see a partial eclipse just not total like in siberia
 
A bunch of us here on campus had telescopes which made it look really cool being magnified so much; they had one on Saturn too, I could see its rings and moons, that was amazing! I've never seen Saturn like that with a naked eye ...well personally through a telescope anyways.
 
I checked it out. Too damn cold to photograph last night.
Agreed. But then, I forgot and stayed in to study for Stats & Accounting tests today >.>

As for solar eclipses, the last one I recall being visible in N America was something like '93 or '94. I only remember because the teacher interrupted class so we could go out and "watch" (thankfully it was mid-Spring.) Quite an experience--it got noticeably cooler, and all the shadows from leaves that had come in looked really funky. I think we only got to see something around 70-85% eclipsed...
 
nice pictures. I tried taking some, but they came out bad. Made me realize that i need a new lens for my camera...

I think it was '94. I remember because I was in high school during it and we went to the welding shop and grabbed the welding masks. That's the best way to look at a solar eclipse! You can look directly at it. Unlike that stupid "hole in a box" method.

I was in Wisconsin at the time, so it was already kinda chilly out at the time.

Awesome pics for those that took them. It was cloudy here during it. But I took some pics of the lunar eclipse from last summer- but mine didn't turn out nearly as well as any of yours.
 
I was out with my Meade ETX-90 telescope. Here's the best I could do with my camera and a shaky tripod.

I stumbled out of the bar just in time to catch a glimpse before getting on the train to go home. Great pics!
