Stupidly was on my way to Costco right before sundown. Ran through the store then raced home to get about 20 minutes of viewing.

It is one of the coolest astronomical things I’ve seen. The total solar eclipse in 2017 is still tops, but this is up there. Seeing it through even my cheap telescope was cool.

Great! elleng Dec 2020 #1
