I was planning to do so, and bought my proper filters. I have been taking test shots of the sun on clear days and finally got the sun spots to appear. And then I thought, hmmmm, the real pros are going to get better shots than I will. But they won't get the shots of my children and grandchildren watching and enjoying the event with their solar glasses. We will all be together for a few days in August at a cottage in Ontario (coming from Toronto, N.Bethesda and San Fransico) and the pictures we look at later should be us. So, no - I am not shooting the eclipse. I am shooting the event.
I will be heading to Idaho to shoot it. Using an Orion 80ed as my main scope, and a Canon 60Da. Will have a couple other cameras running on automatic.
Boring! I'll be getting my beauty rest, wake me when it's over!
It's going to be cloudy everywhere?
Got a hotel room on the day before 150 miles from totality that cost only $79. Waiting for my filters.
We are in the middle of the totality zone, so yes, I will be taking pictures.
Got a room (booked 4 mo ago) less than 5 min from the exact center of totality, close to a major E-W freeway so if there are clouds I'll be trucking east or west looking for some sunshine!
