The kid and her boyfriend wanted to set up her telescope to watch the eclipse and try to take some pictures of it. The pictures taken without the telescope were tiny and didn't turn out well, but she took some really neat pictures through the telescope.
I hope the size comes out okay on these. We had a really nice time watching with fantastic weather for the most part. Some light clouds drifted past here and there, but it was mostly clear. The kids had a great time with taking pictures (holding the camera lens on the phone up to the view finder on the telescope and snapping pics) and trying out some of the filters that she has. No pictures with the filters, unfortunately, but I loved how she was able to capture detail and see the craters so clearly. They sort of showed up in the pictures, even.
I would love to see any other pictures that anyone else was able to get!
Take care,
Cindi
