Partial Solar Eclipse - October 14, 2023

Our partial solar eclipse

Georgia was way outside the path of the “ring of fire”, annular solar eclipse, on October 14, 2023. Not only that it was mostly cloudy.

When the clouds were just thick enough, the partially eclipsed sun could be viewed, and photographed, without a filter aid.

My “pocket-size eclipse viewer”, consisting of two 3×7 cards with a small hole in one of them, served well. The size of the sun’s image can be easily controlled by the separation of the cards. With arms pretty well stretched out, about 5 feet, the image size is about a half inch across.

Here a closer version, with a neat paper texture.
