That was harder than it looked! I used Josee's House for a Mouse box. I hope she forgives me! I tested it first, and a tripod was essential. I tried a shoe box, as well as a colander. THAT was interesting! I even had a faithful assistant, as a feline supervisor. Well, she was moral support.
I'm going to have to apologise to Red. This is a two-post day, but it was epic!

Not surprised by your interest in the eclipse. You appreciate the learning opportunities in this situation.
We did use a shoebox. Similar setup with white paper for the "film" and the gazing hole at the side. Our hole was too big at first, so when I re-did it to pin size, it worked pretty well. We were just going in and out and hand holding so no decent photos which were only an after thought anyway. I am at the stage in life where I don't know if I'll be around for the next one in 20124 or if I;m around whether I will be all there if you know what I mean.
Your camera obscure worked better than mine. But our library handed out the viewing glasses so my grand son and I got to view the eclipse and we shared the glasses with others in the neighborhood.
I wasn't sure if the skies would be clear, but they were by afternoon. I came out during the peak time. The sky was an odd tone of blue.
You did very well --- we were in the path of totality, and it was wonderful. I took some pictures while wearing my glasses just by pointing my camera but they didn't turn out (I didn't get the moon-looking shapes) and even the ones i took of the full eclipse (when we could take off our special glasses for a couple of minutes) didn't capture the flare. But I'll blog about it anyway, because I don't want to forget the wonderful time we had and the awe and wonder.
Wow, Jenn. I couldn't have made one of those, but impressed that you did, with help(?) from your faithful assistant.
Hugs,
K
Awesome Jenn!
