Stay safe when viewing the eclipse
Observers must take care when taking photos of the eclipse on digital devices, as eye experts have warned that doing so could cause blindness. Skygazers have been told to not look directly at the sun when they take selfies and other photographs, as doing so can lead to burns at the back of the eye, even with the use of dark sunglasses.

Though looking at the eclipse on a screen is not dangerous in itself, it might lead to inadvertently looking at it in the process of trying to capture the perfect shot.

When viewing the eclipse, you can use a homemade pinhole camera and face away from the sun.

You Minx

[Crimson Dynamo]

bit sunnier here than expected

woop woop

I have made my pinhole box

[Crimson Dynamo]

the fact the suns warmth is blocked can clear the sky quickly so even if its cloudy now that can change quickly

[arista]

Shaun are you watching it

[AnnieK]

I remember in 99 being ready for it, having the glasses and everything and it being a total let down....in work and cloudy here today so thinking that today will be another let down

[Crimson Dynamo]
