#eclipse2024
I live in texas. My city has been talking about this eclipse and making a big deal about it since october of last year.
As a chronic procrastinator. I have ignored it.
I may receive some glasses from someone, otherwise i dont have glasses for this.
Also, i have a good mirrorless camera and basic lenses,
I’m wondering if i should get anything (last minute) to capture this? Or if i should be more excited lol.
If you have binoculars, (or a telescope of any size), you can project the suns image onto a piece of paper.
First, the obvious, don't look *through* your binoculars/telescope. Instead, hold it above the paper with the eyepiece aimed toward the paper, and the large lens/lenses toward the sun.
You will see an image projected on the paper. If it is out of focus, move your binoculars/telescope closer tov or farther from, the paper.
You can safely look at the image on the paper without glasses, take pictures of it, etc.
