Re: eclipse
Took a chance and dragged the kids to Cornwall.? Got lucky, had great views of the entire eclipse.? Noted two bright prominences with the naked eye.? Seeing Jupiter and Venus was really neat.? Also, noted that the spring peepers (frogs) started to sing soon after totality began, I guess they thought it was evening!!? The corona was larger and much more prominent than I was expecting, the whole thing took my breath away.? I didn't expect it to look just like the pictures I had seen, but it really did.? The temperature drop was very noticeable.? The diamond ring effect right at the end was a surprise, very white light instead of the orangish colour I was expecting.? But then it was time to put the glasses back on. Really, really fantastic experience for us.? I understand why people travel for this experience over and over again.

I’m going to head for St Jean sur Richelieu which might be ok and will review weather forecast when I get there, if I head down towards Magog if need be (it does look like the best site)
but then what site exactly are people going for at whatever destination you selected? ?I gather a park? |

Good luck with solar eclipse! : )

Heading for Eastern Townships right now. Currently at a Timmy’s east of Cornwall. Brockville was already patchy clouds at 7am. Had to scrape frost off the car. Sky is cloudless here at 8:45am. Richard Taylor On Mon, Apr 8, 2024 at 8:01?AM Darryl Sprecher <darrylsprecher@...> wrote:
