Sunday's partial drew out many an amateur astronomer, including this editor.
With my cardboard, tin foil and safety pin, I headed up to the top of one of Belmont's hills with my assistant Nellie, and I was able to view the eclipse, which, as promised by the experts, was most visible at 6:33 p.m.
Upload your photos of the eclipse and tell us how you viewed this rare but very cool astronomical occurrence--the last took place 18 years ago.
