Just heard on the news that the best place this evening to view the eclipse from land is in San Diego California where it will be 99% covered. In Tucson it will be between 60 & 80%. So it must be an annular total just offshore. I wonder what the pinhole image of the eclipse would look like in the penumbra of the Kitt Peak Telescope? I'd love to view it from there, but was invited to an eclipse party, so I'll try to test that using the house's edge shadow instead. John John L. Carmichael Jr. Sundial Sculptures 925 E.
