iosa Loc: Fairbanks, AK

In Fairbanks, AK we caught only a portion of the eclipse. Here are a couple shots I managed. I used a homemade solar filter, comprising a 3-inch black PVC end-cap with a 1/2-inch hole drilled in it and a #11 welding glass taped over the hole.

Getting the focus turned out to be tricky. And then, of course, the clouds moved in and made us all miss the end.
