James took this video in stages using two different filters on his camera.

The eclipse in Detroit was about 98% but James wanted to see it at 100% which meant a trip South to Ohio. The traffic was heavier than ever on our way to Ohio to watch the eclipse. Specifically Liberty Ohio where the Drive in Theatre called Field of Dreams resides.

The first picture is a herd of deer we saw between Wauseon Ohio and Liberty, but the rest are pics of the eclipse we saw at the Drive in. They had a DJ playing requests and Mom got to hear a Toby Keith song she likes. The flea market there had about 15 booths and we ended up buying some honey and a pumpkin that was made by a 3D printer. While there were plenty of activities going on we took pictures of the sun, both with a regular camera and a filtered camera. The Eclipse started at about 2pm and was total at about 12 after 3 so these pics were taken during this period of time. At the end James took a few more showing the sun coming out of the eclipse.

All in all it was a great day and an incredible experience.

The family enjoyed the lunar eclipse which was very well publicized and easy to see due to the nice clear weather in October. It was visible from North America, parts of Australia, China and Japan. Parts of South Asia, and Eastern Europe saw a partial eclipse.

Taking pictures of this was not easy as you can tell, but we tried. James also has a telescope that came in handy during this time period, but does not have the capability of allowing us to photograph the images.

All in all a very fun experience that the whole family enjoyed. Anything having to do with the moon in October has to be enjoyed by this family.
