Matt had the good idea to head down to OMSI to see the partial eclipse. Though the forecast was overcast, OMSI promised livestreaming in the planetarium.
Here we are waiting for the doors to open. We got there quite early and were about fourth and fifth in line. Someone who worked for OMSI was confused why a line was forming at eight on a Saturday morning. The people at the beginning of the line explained what was up.
The view from inside the planetarium. I enjoyed that timeanddate.com was the livestreamer. They are my online source for calendars and have for years.
We got views from across the country.
At some point, one of the people who had posted themselves outside announced that the clouds had cleared enough to see the eclipse, so the planetarium emptied. Here was the view without glasses.

Here was my fun self portrait that was one of my favorite photos taken this year.
Crowd pictures.
I really loved this coat! So event appropriate.
The fun of photographing people watching eclipses is that they can’t see you taking pictures.
Some glasses adjustments are necessary.
I like to think it was one of these fellows who came in and said that the eclipse was visible.
