Partial Solar Eclipse
August 21, 2017
Riverwood Conservancy
The solar eclipse itself was awesome! Even if the overall organization
of the event by the Mississauga/Royal Astronomical Society left a
little to be desired. (They set up for about 1,000 people - by my
count, between 4000 and 5000 people showed up!)
(parking lot was full by 11:30 a.m.)
(a little soft-shoe shuffle - and we both snagged a pair of viewing "goggles"!)
...eclipse at it's max - 70%
(I wasn't brave or confident enough that the viewing goggles
would provide sufficient protection in combination with my camera lens,

Next solar eclipse - Monday, April 8, 2024
(a mere 7 years from now) -
99% coverage in Southern Ontario!
