Hopefully I'll get to see it again this year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites The_Don 0 #3 June 5, 2012 OK. I am stupid. I looked at NASA link. WTF time can I see it on the East coast?I am NOT being loud. I'm being enthusiastic! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Amazon 7 #4 June 5, 2012 Quote OK. I am stupid.

You SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo did not just ask that right Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites lawrocket 3 #5 June 5, 2012 I believe it starts a little after 6:00 Eastern time. It starts at 3:06 here in Fresno. There won't be much difference. It'll start from between 12:00 and 1:00 and move toward the 4:00 position, then at transit center cut to between 2:00 and 3:00 - after your sunset. My wife is hotter than your wife.

The light from a welding arc is substantially different from the sun. This urban myth needs to be gone completely. No welding hoods/lens folks. JerryBaumchen PS) I saw it this PM with my very old eclipse lens. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Amazon 7 #14 June 6, 2012 Quote QUIT STARING AT THE SUN!

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites JohnMitchell 14 #15 June 6, 2012 I was eating dinner at work when the sun came out from behind the clouds. Of course, I didn't have smoked glass or a telescope, but I put a pinhole in the foil from my yogurt lid and tried to cast a pinhole image on some white paper. No such luck. Wish I had my spotting scope to project a better image.
