New Moon and Total Solar Eclipse (midday)

I see you live in Florida. I'm on the west coast near Tampa, and we expect to see a
partial eclipse between 1:46 pm to its peak around 3:00 pm. My wife already purchased
our eye protection!

Yep, I'm about 30 minutes from Daytona. Should be clear skies during that time, so we should get a good viewing!

Had a pretty good view of it today. Clear skies. Looked like a crescent moon. I've seen
them a few times in my lifetime. Always a thrill!

I was pleasantly surprised. Although I did have a little difficutly in positioning myself to where I could see it. I have a 10 acre pasture next to me that has some rather large oaks. Had to find an opening in the canopies. :)
