Looking forward to it. As you noted the eclipse starts about noon or a little before. The climax of the TOTAL eclipse in Dallas starts about 1:42 pm and last about 3min 45 seconds. Get your protective glasses before its too late!
Topic is not hobby related. Moved.

Yes ordered glasses from Amazon. I am debating whether I should buy an attachment for the Telescope too.
Cool! I need to do this. Also the iPhone camera attachment for the telescope to take photos. If there is no photo, did it really happen? Lol.Originally Posted by raghupundit

yep, i'm down..
Do not use a telescope or even binoculars to view the eclipse even with glasses. Both concentrate the rays and will burn through the glasses. Be sure the attachment is rated for viewing.
One of the best eclipse sites: https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/solar/2024-april-8
Plug in your exact city/ location, and you?ll see a simulation of how the eclipse will look for you, with the exact timings of all the phases, for your specific location.
And like Labrat mentioned, see this: https://www.vox.com/science/24119318...safety-glasses
It’s better not lose our eye sight if we want to hobby well, just saying…
Have fun y?all

It was a pretty awesome sight. Might be a "Once-in-a-lifetime" thing. I might not be able to travel for any future ones. If I get cataracts in 5 years, I'll just file workers comp since the job gave us a chance to view it HA
