Here in NJ we got 70% coverage. We also had mostly a clear sky, but there was a bit of thin cloud cover at times, which turned out to be lucky because I was able to catch a direct camera shot.

Here is the close-up of the camera shot through a light veil of clouds:

and here it is without zoom - it's a smidge more clearly focused:

So I bet you're all wondering, How did gardenlady's pinhole paper work?

It worked great!

But first I have to say that the foil was ridiculous...I just couldn't get a perfectly round hole even after 5 tries. I ended up just poking the paper clip end right through my paper, luckily the small hole was perfectly round.

Here is my paper that I made for my demonstration in my last post...You can see all the holes LOL!
The hole on the upper right turned out to be the winner

SO, I held the paper up with my right hand above my head so that it's shadow fell on the white woodwork between two windows. With my iphone 6+ camera in my left hand...click!

You'll notice that the image is reversed from what you see if you looked straight on like in the first photos. And, I have to say, the oddly shaped holes weren't such losers as I had thought :-)

So I hope everyone in the US near or in the line of the eclipse had a chance to check out the eclipse. Science, sun and moon in action. A nice dose of reality :-)

Now...back to gardening!
