TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE-APRIL 8, 2024-Preparation




View this video from timedate.com to see what we will see in Bowdoin, Maine.

Whoo Hooo! Let's hope for a sunny day! Totality will be seen in the arc across Maine. The further east you go on the dark pink arc, the longer totality will be. Here are some places: The Forks, Houlton, Presque Isle, Kingsbury, etc. We think that we will probably just stay home where the eclipse is going to be partial, but with just a fine line of light on part of the sun, as you see in the picture above.

Check out this video from Eclipse 2024.org to see how the eclipse will be different around the State of Maine.

From Bowdoin, here is our schedule. Note to self: I will be using my Nikon P-1000 camera with a 77mm solar filter AND a fully charged battery. Sandbags will be placed on the tripod and a remote shutter button will be used to avoid shake. The center pole of the tripod will be raised and the tripod legs will be extended to their top height.
