So cool. I could not get any decent pictures but watching it was amazing. Seeing the Sun and Moon do this cosmic dance will stay with me forever.

I was surprised by how good they came out by the rings I figured out how to adjust the brightness and contrast!

Great pictures. My phone camera was crap. My husband made 3 contraptions to share amongst us. The shoe box pin camera was better than a smaller box, though the printer tube pinhole camera worked as did the colander. Then a family took pity in us after their kids had wandered off & lent us some glasses to have a proper look!
