Due to server slowness, downtime, and other issues, guests can no longer search the forum or view user accounts. At some point in the future Eclipse will be moving to a more stable and efficient platform that should result in much better stability and the lifting of these restrictions. There is no timeline for this yet, just want you to know what's happening with all the downtime and I have a plan to fix it.
Eclipse!

Eclipse!
I've finally gotten around to going through all these pictures I took.
The Eclipse as seen through a photolithographic plate captured by a XZ1 Compact.
The first pictures didn't look good, this is a 7 year old phone after all.
However, I had the idea of trying manual mode, and settled on 50 ISO, 1/30 SS, manual focus around 2/3-3/4ths towards the infinite end, and wow, it's actually pretty good for such an old phone.
During totality I removed the filter and looked at it raw, adjusting ISO and shutter speed varyingly. Here are the rest of the best of pictures from this.
Very cool I would say.
Rest of the pictures I took if you're interested.

Eclipse!
Total solar eclipse on the 12th of August but, of course, not for everyone:

Eclipse!
A map which estimates, point by point, how much of the visible eclipse really stays above the real horizon drawn by the relief.
Best in Western Europe, more than 90%, full 100% in North East Spain.
