Solar Eclipse—21-August-2017

Partial Solar Eclipse from Cambridge, MA.

A huge crowd from work was all watching. A company composed almost entirely of geeks didn't get much work done. The building was basically empty for the entire time.

Focusing was difficult, auto-focus kept guessing. Manual focus was just about impossible.
