I'm making this thread to find out if anyone has plans for the total solar eclipse on Monday, but this thread is also for other eclipses (solar, lunar, plumage, etc.) past or present. Photos are welcome.

No plans, I'm staying in NY and not even caring to look up at 70 something percentage that we are getting. Didn't bother buying those goggles. A friend of mines is driving down to Kentucky for it to be in the path of totality.

Iirc former regular Blarrobarg is in Kentucky for that very reason.

I've got 50-70% where I live. I'm still gonna check it out.

I'm camping in Acadia next week. We're going to try to check it out but it really isn't a big deal to me. I'd rather spend the time enjoying the company of my friends.

I live a couple miles outside the path of totality. I don't have any plans to go north to see it, but I'll get something like a 98% solar eclipse just on my doorstep.

My small ass home town is directly in the path of totality and it's a real concern that they're not going to have enough food for everyone coming to the area for it. All the ranches and hotels have been booked for 5+ years. I tried to tell my fam to air bnb their house and make some bank off it but my aunt told me she's worried about "the rainbow people coming and peeing and pooping in our yard."

There won't be much to see here in north Texas. :c I'll probably forget it's happening anyway.

Paul Smeenus 08-18-2017 05:08 PM

I'm less than an hour from totality (99%), but I'm pretty much home bound these days. I won't have proper eye protection so I'll watch the eclipse on TV in my room with a north facing window open, I've already lost half of my vision with my aneurysm, I wanna keep what's left TYVM.
