My friend and work colleague brought a box of Moon Pies into work today, 21 August 2017, the day of the total eclipse of the Sun. At first I thought that he brought them in because of the day, because it is Earth's moon that blocks the Sun's rays for the effect. Nope, total coincidence.
When all of the Moon Pies were taken, I saved the box in order to make this simple pinhole eclipse viewer! The black rectangle is the viewing port. The pinhole is in that small piece of aluminum foil in the middle of the bite on the product illustration. Not perfect but it worked well enough.
It was a difficult task going to sleep at just after 7 pm last night in order to wake up at 2 am this morning.
I stopped to get a warm coffee and we headed out of town to get a good view of the moon and the total lunar eclipse.
I managed to get about 10 frames in before the entire sky was engulfed in cloud cover.
Quite frustrating it is but we tried to make the best out of it and took some photos of each other to pass the time.
Now that I am home, I had the chance to work on them right away and post them before heading into work for the day.
Until next time Blood Moon.

Eclipse Solar. Fenomeno que só se repetirá daqui a 40 anos.
I found this which reads "Eclipse of the Sun. October 19, 1865. Photograph by (cant read) Eureka, IL. Google verifies that eclipse that day. It also features on a 2 cent stamp, which was a Union Civil War revenue stamp enacted to generate revenue for the war effort. I've enhanced the image and darkened the writing to be able to read it on the image, it's pristine in it's original state, but darker.

BY JOHN UPDIKE
The shadows have their seasons, too.
The feathery web the budding maples
cast down upon the sullen lawn
bears but a faint relation to
high summer's umbrageous weight
and tunnellike continuum—
black leached from green, deep pools
wherein a globe of gnats revolves
as airy as an astrolabe.
The thinning shade of autumn is
an inherited Oriental,
red worn to pink, nap worn to thread.
Shadows on snow look blue. The skier,
exultant at the summit, sees his poles
elongate toward the valley: thus
each blade of grass projects another
opposite the sun, and in marshes
the mesh is infinite,
as the winged eclipse an eagle in flight
drags across the desert floor
is infinitesimal.
And shadows on water!—
the beech bough bent to the speckled lake
where silt motes flicker gold,
or the steel dock underslung
with a submarine that trembles,
its ladder stiffened by air.
And loveliest, because least looked-for,
gray on gray, the stripes
the pearl-white winter sun
hung low beneath the leafless wood
draws out from trunk to trunk across the road
like a stairway that does not rise.

Todays (20 Mar 15) Eclipse as seen from my garden. The best shots were just after the eclipse passed its peak and the clouds came in and acted as a natural filter!

I'm a bit late to the game, but here's my lunar eclipse experience. This was taken about 10 miles south of Las Vegas.
Shot through a 6 inch (750mm) f5 Newtonian reflector with a 2x Barlow (making it approx f10), combined from 15 exposures generated from 3 raws.
If you don't like the unrealistic look of an HDR, check out the luminosity merge of the same images.
HDR using QTPFSGUI with the following settings:
pregamma=0.7, method=v1_fattal, alpha=2, beta=0.8, saturation=0.6, noiseredux=0.1
Eclipse has become the image that I most associate with the Power On / Game On start of a lot of my adventures in the underground.
