April 8, 2024 Solar Eclipse

Posted By Pete Brayton
Hi Jim, great pictures! We were in SE Oklahoma near the town of Muse. Clear early, then a lot of thick clouds and then clear for the eclipse! The view of those proms in my PST was fantastic, in fact the whole eclipse through the PST was amazing. One of the prominences looked like the Eiffel tower. Seeing prominences, etc. around the edge of during totality is something I'll never forget. On the uneclipsed disk there was an almost circular filament that had a sunspot at the edge, it looked like a bubble. Of course totality with Jupiter and Venus and that amazing blue-black(?) sky was cool. I also got to visit my sister and 4 nephews and spend a few days at my friend's cabin in SE Oklahoma all made for a great trip. I hope everybody got to see it!

Lucky weather

Loved the photos everybody! We saw the eclipse from SE Oklahoma and it was just like everyone described. It was amazing that so many people saw the eclipse for this time of year.

Ted Cruz says it all regarding the BS Border Control Bill....

Posted By Pete Brayton
Here's James Lankford, senator from Oklahoma making the case for the bipartisan bill that he worked on that was shit-canned by Trump. You and Ted Cruz can piss and moan all you want but it's obvious that Trump and his Maga minions don't care about America. Diversion tactic my ass...

Seestar S50 Sun today

Posted By Pete Brayton
I bought this Seestar a few weeks ago and have only been able to take sun pictures with it. Super fun and so far easy to use. Looking forward to catching some moon shots and dso's.

I think the My Pillow guy still has all the evidence in a pillow case waiting to be presented to the supreme court!

Harris picks Tim Walz as VP choice

Posted By Pete Brayton
I saw a post on Facebook from someone named Steven Miller accusing Walz of signing a law stating what Greg said. Unfortunately it IS NOT TRUE! Just another typical right wing lie that will be reported and repeated by the ignorant.

Taken at a state park outside of Walsenberg, CO. I used the "enhance" and contrast functions on my Pixel 9 Android photo app.
