Should read, âcaptured by drunk man Vincent Ledvinaâ imo! 
This is my one of my dream trips to see the Northern Lights before I get too old to travel.
Total eclipse later this afternoon, and right on time clouds are rolling in after being clear all morning
Itâs the second story on the BBC News today, even though it will barely be visible in the UK.
They really are going OTT about it.
Gap in the clouds has it clear just as it starts. Totality is about an hour from now, you can just see the circle starting to move across the face of the sun.
The sun is weirdly small when you actually look right at it.
Thatâs dangerous and the longer you do it the smaller it gets.
I have âeclipse glassesâ, ISO 12312-2 certified, they screen out the UV and IR parts of the spectrum. Very little light gets through them, in normal light you see nothing. Looking at the sun, the sky is dark and the sun is a small yellow ball.
I am just walking out front every 10 minutes and looking up to gauge progression. I suppose there probably are people spending the whole time watching.
I knew you would be taking precautions but ⌠you know some are fuckwits. It might be funny to encourage them however itâs probably best not to. 
Itâs funny, way more precautions than the one when I was a kid - which was a complete bust due to total cloud cover. Schools are not in session today.
Seeing about the same, though a very different angle. Moon is coming up from about the 5 oâclock position and progressively obscuring toward the 11 oâclock
I see a cloudy skyâŚand rain. lots of rain.
Thatâs the moon! 
Thatâs as far as it got, then it kind of reversed itself. My trees were getting in the way of that shot.
My location got to over 99% obscured. It is astonishing what a difference that 1% makes. It was dim enough that streetlights came on, but it was clearly day. Just 40 km away it was like night.
Itâs not nature, but isnât this a really cool boy or gal ?

In 1999, we had a total eclipse here. I took the time to go to an exposed place where I could watch it. I can remember how everything went silent (birds stopped singing) and a cold current of air arose, provoking a feeling of cold, right in the midst of the summer.
Unfortunately, the sky wasnât totally clear, so there was still a lot of diffuse light around, but you could still clearly see the sun being covered by the moon, and it was a sight to behold.
