That is the same thing I did in the 90's when we had one. I actually took a photo of it too by putting the helmet lens over the end of my camera lens. I never got anything out of the pin hole in the card and holding over my shoulder as a kid.I used a welding helmet in 2017. Worked like a charm.
Destin's guest was awesome.
New Castle, Winchester and Union City are all near the centerline. Weather and traffic are unknowable variables.Any suggestions on places to go within the path and have a lunch before hand and then watch the show that would be more chill and not packed with people? Thinking of driving down from NWI with the wife to take it in.
I would stay away from Bloomington as the do get near 4 minutes of totality they are booked up in hotels at 500 a night. College town so there will be visitors. Plenty of places on the center of totality line.Any suggestions on places to go within the path and have a lunch before hand and then watch the show that would be more chill and not packed with people?

I booked at room for a couple days at the Hampton just off 65 in Franklin, KY . It was awesome. We stayed 2 days so we could avoid the crush that day. And glad we did.I would stay away from Bloomington as the do get near 4 minutes of totality they are booked up in hotels at 500 a night. College town so there will be visitors.

Deer creek music center (or whatever they call it today will allow you to watch for $121.50 a car and I believe the Indy track and the state fair grounds have something similar.
I am just staying at the house. 3:32 totality and not worth driving for the extra 27 seconds. The closer you get to the center line the more people you will see. When we went to Kentucky for the last one we were right on the center line near collinsville. Several places were offering viewing for 5-20 dollars some in very nice open areas. We found a small town that was about abandoned and watched from a church parking lot. The drive is was easy. The drive home was horrid.
Total eclipse is a singular experience. Even 99% is not the same. It's eerie. Having seen lots of partials and an annular, but only 1 total, it's really worth it.I guess I just don't see what the big hubbub is about.
Are pants required? Asking for a friend.I will rent a 2x2 section of my yard for $200.00 an hour.
You’ve obviously never experienced a total eclipse.We're in the path of totality and they've canceled schools, told folks to stock up on foods, required meds, and keep your gas tanks full.
They are expecting a LOT of additional people in town and the area (30 min from Bloomington), I guess I just don't see what the big hubbub is about.
