I had the advantage of having a pair of 20X80 binoculars with solar filter cups to attach to the scope so you can view the sun full on. I even managed to get a half ass image with my point and shoot when it was mostly cloud covered, then the battery died so that ended the photo experiments, I thought I was going to go to Santee South Carolina, which is dead nuts center but wife went in hospital yesterday so that was that. It would have been a magnificent trip but no luck. Have to wait for the next one in the US in 2024.

I began studying evolution in the early sixties. Was working and married (with children) in the late 70s so didn't have a lot of spare time to keep up with new developments. First got online mid-90s and was able to get back into it... so was out of the loop for about 20 years.
A lot can change i ...[text shortened]... are calling and texting me like crazy... why I don't know, it's not like no one saw this coming.
