I took bit of an adventure and traveled North to Burlington Vermont to view the Total Solar Eclipse of 2024.

It was wonderful and Burlington is a beautiful city.

Here is a map of the path that the eclipse took across the country. I live in Massachusetts so the best option for me was to go to Vermont. The city of Burlington is right in the center of the path which meant good eclipse and longest time of totality.

No need to make you read all kinds of stuff if you would rather not. Let's look at some pictures of the eclipse right away! And then, if you want, you can read more, see pics of the city of Burlington and ..... watch a video.

The video is pretty interesting. It is of the people gathered together watching the eclipse. It's kind of a reaction video. You can see how they react. And, I popped into the video pictures I took of the eclipse as it developed.

About the Camera setup I used for this:

• Camera: Canon EOS Rebel T6
• Lens: Canon Zoom Lens EF 75-300 1:4-5.6
• Solar filters: Thousand Oaks Optical 6"x6" Solar Filter Sheet for Telescopes, Binoculars and Cameras
• and: Solar Filter - Unversal Lens Filter 50mm - White Light for Camera

Here is the video:

A Note from Will about eclipses and stamp collecting!

I am a stamp collector. It is a hobby of mine. Did you know that the US postal service put out a very unique stamp in honor of eclipses?

The USPS issues a set of unique eclipse stamps. They are thermochromic. You press your finger on a stamp and the moon appear. Fun little stamp. I have more about them here: USPS Eclipse Stamps
