RE: [Utah-astronomy] More Eclipse Pictures.
Very nice Dave. Thanks for sharing them. Every time I see something like this though - it just makes me want to kick myself for not going to see the one in Mexico. I'm looking forward to the one in 2017. I would imagine that it will be somewhat similar to the one you saw since we'll be in about the same location in the solar max/min cycle. Clear skies, Dale.

I posted some more eclipse pictures. These were taken by my wife using an old Sony digital camera. Eclipse 8 is good at showing a 1X picture of the eclipse at totality. Notice how far the corona went out from the sun. It was well over two solar diameters. I also like the twilight shot she got. It shows how dark it really got.

Yes, 2017 it is! Idaho! Friends are going to converge here and we'll go to Idaho together. What I'm wondering is how soon is too soon to start making plans? I can hardly wait. -- Joe

I'm sitting here with the telescope on automatic so with nothing better to do I thought I'd compare the 1991 and 2017 eclipses. The 1991 eclipse had a maximum total time of 6' 53.2". But that was for a spot on mainland Mexico. Being that I was on the Baja peninsula I saw a few seconds less than that. Looking to the 2017 eclipse, it will have a maximum totality of 2' 40.1" back around southern Illinois while up in Idaho where the center line crosses I-15 between Roberts and Hamer there will be about 2' 19" of totality. 'Course we can always look forward to the 21 AUG 2045 eclipse a spry 96) that will pass through Utah. Max. totality is 6' 5.7" off the south east coast of Florida while where the centerline passes over Nephi we'll have about 5'. Patrick
