I have been really looking forward to the Solar Eclipse that is to happen on Saturday, October 14th. But I got up this morning and it was very overcast and I started to worry that I would not be able to see the rare solar eclipse that is called the "Ring of Fire" eclipse.
I live in central Texas and really do not remember the last solar eclipse that I have experienced. I am very, very lucky this year as this area will experience two solar eclipses in the matter of six months. The next one will happen in April 2024.
I have read lots of articles that have been published lately regarding the solar eclipse being able to be seen here in Central Texas. They are expecting 100's of thousands of eclipse chasers to come to the area so it will be very good for the economy from tourism.

But when I was sitting on the bed looking out the window I was getting more worried that I would not be able to get to see this rare experience because of the clouds.
I have a telescope that I will be placing out on the back porch and ordered a camera holder for it so that I can take some photos. That device will not be here until later today.
I will not get very much time to experience with the mount adapter to ensure it fits and how to properly work it. But I guess you could say this will be the trial run for the eclipse in April.
Tomorrow, I will be posting photos of the eclipse that I am able to take even if I cannot get this to work I will still take photos. Wish me luck since I have never taken photos of an event like this before.
