The maximum level of eclipse here was 97%, and I expected better images from the hastily improvised pinhole cameras than we got. Part of that is probably the flimsiness of the cardboard, and another part is almost certainly my vision, because ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cattitude saw clearer crescent shadows than I did when we were looking at the same pinhole camera. (My corrected vision was 20/30 last year, but that doesn't measure the fuzziness caused by the Fuchs dystrophy.)
Feeling the temperature drop a few minutes before the maximum eclipse was neat, though. (Today is unseasonably warm in Boston, as well as sunny, so the temperature drop just made me glad I was wearing a sweatshirt.)
The last time I stood outside for a partial solar eclipse, it was summer, with lots of leaves on the trees to produce interesting shadows. Forsythia flowers don't have the same effect, and none of the trees near our house have started leafing out.
