Guest The Hound Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I'm using my Samsung VR and passthrough camera mode to view it. It's... not that good. I see a slither every now and then with it on, but the camera is way too sensitive to the sun and I only catch it briefly during auto focusing. I'm expecting the peak of the eclipse to be fully visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Hound Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Anyone else worried about botching their phone camera if you have a VR headset https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/can-i-photograph-eclipse-my-smartphone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginguy Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 It's getting darker here right now. In seven years we will be in the path of a solar eclipse again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Gun Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I was amazed that the ambient light was noticeably dimmer even at 75% of totality. It felt like the level of light you'd normally see around 7PM or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
