So on April 8th, we had a total solar eclipse in parts of North America. Here in Bermuda, we got a 50% eclipse. Everybody contends with a lot of clouds.
I followed a live stream that was put on by the University of Toronto and so I got some good screenshots from their feed. It was funny because everybody initially was having technical difficulties positioning their telescopes to point at the sun because of the clouds. But eventually, we got some really good views.
It was cool how it got all dark and eerie at the highest point of the eclipse.
When it came here in Bermuda, I was able to capture some kind of image with my phone and also glimpse it through some breaks in the clouds. The picture turned out neat because I used an action shot thinking it was going to give me the quickest exposure. I had no luck capturing the eclipse on the sun itself however I got some pretty accurate representations in the lens reflections!
In Peterborough, they were able to go to a lake nearby and see the total eclipse, including what looked like sunsets on all sides.
