2023.10.14. Annular Solar Eclipse

10/14, Saturday morning. Forecast of rain this weekend all over PNW, so I didn't travel to Oregon to see the annular solar eclipse. Luckily, clouds were thin this morning, moving in and over the sun.

I walked up to our roof-top ~9:20am. Too bright. Had to go back down to look for my eclipse shades from 2017 (see my blog). It took me awhile to dig one up. Here, north of the trajactory, the sun looked like a very bright new moon. If you don't look at the sun, you wouldn't tell any difference. Looking east, the shade moved top-left to bottom of the sun.
