RASC Mississauga: Observing and photographing the August total solar eclipse

Speakers: Randy Attwood, Mississauga Centre Honourary President; Michael Watson, Toronto Centre

The solar eclipse of August 21, 2017 presents an opportunity for many amateurs to observer their first total solar eclipse.

These are rare events and may be overwhelming for the novice TSE observer. The presenters have seen several dozen eclipses and will share their experiences with advice to those planning to travel to the centre line.
