Well, in good 'ol New York it was as dark as it gets at night, sans the city lights. Don't you love living in a metropolis?

Hmm, now I'm wondering WHY DIDN'T WE HAVE THIS THREAD BEFORE THE ECLIPSE?!?!?!
Then we may have saved a few sore eyes... has anyone actually damaged their eyes? Mine feel a tiny bit achey, but that's it. Anyone else?
You never know, this could have saved me that laser treatment to correct short-sightedness. But it didn't. Worth a go though

Steve,
I'm not an expert on glasses but i would say that they offer very little if no protection in UV/NIR, they probably protect against dirt and insects.
Jorden,
I believe the glasses no matter how bad were much better for you than double CD's, as you said they let UV radiation through and also the higher wavelengths of Infra-Red, 2000nm upwards not NIR 800nm -1400nm peaking at 950nm so be careful.

Howdy all
I saw the solar elipse too, but were I was we had a thick cloud cover, so only once a while it was obvious that there was an eclipse going on. I live in Denmark, and the eclipse was about 60-70%, so we had no darkening at all. Got a few snaps with my camera, have no idea if they are worth while.
Hey wizz, can you compile your editing of the eclipse with i.e. MPEG4 and make it awailible for download?
Cheers

I got 220sec of 100% next to the 'Erdfunk-stelle' in Aflenz/Austria. Clouds openened up just at the right time. Talking about being lucky... Very funny experiance when everthing gets quit and dark. And damm is that moon-shadow going fast! Tried to keep up with it but I am only running mach1 instead of mach2 (not to mension I had to run uphill).
