Some snaps taken through a pair of Eclipse '99 glasses with a Kodak DX6490.

First contact

A few minutes later

You don't need expensive equipment for this kind of thing - that's a pinhole camera made simply by clenching my fist

Maximum eclipse as seen from here

After maximum

Nearing the end

Almost there...

... and I was clouded out for last contact (and also too busy watching the webcast of totality).

This was a near-equinox solar eclipse, and there'll be another one near September's equinox too (annular, and unfortunately not visible from here).
