8 avril | Éclipse solaire
- Thread starter Shantie_mtl
- Start date
Je vais la regarder. J'ai acheté des lunettes de protection ISO 12312. Le peak (eclipse totale) est vers 15h30 mais je pense que ça se passe sur plusieurs heures pour le reste.
Ton photographe ne peut pas déplacer la session? Cela n'arrive qu'une fois tous les 20 ans
I plan to see this but will stay away from Sherbrook and go either NE or SW of the city to avoid the crowds. Supposedly the entire event lasts 2:20 from entering and exiting the sun so plan to arrive around 2:00pm. On Amazon you can find the proper eyewear for around $20, heard Walmart or Canadian tire also may have something. I plan to wait until I get a proper weather forcast to make sure it will not be a cloudy day and then place my order. The areas will be crowded, in Texas they are closing schools and recommend people should stock up on necessitie like water as they expect 100,000 plus visitors in each major center it passes through and may sell out of certain items.

Carte d'observation 8 avril
Voir lien ci-haut pour les meilleurs endroits pour observer l'éclipse. Plus la localisation est près de la ligne médiane (Sutton), plus le phénomène dure longtemps.
SVP utiliser uniquement les lunettes homologuées avec norme ISO 12312-2.

Je me demandais où en trouver!

Non la location n'est pas remboursable $$Ton photographe ne peut pas déplacer la session? Cela n'arrive qu'une fois tous les 20 ans
20 years?!? You wish!Ton photographe ne peut pas déplacer la session? Cela n'arrive qu'une fois tous les 20 ans
The next comparable ones will be on July 23rd 2093 (annular eclipse, 87% visibility from MTL) and then on May 3rd 2106 (total solar eclipse, 95% visibility from MTL).
But if you‘re looking for the next true total eclipse with 100% visibility from MTL, such as the one happening on April 8th, well… you better make sure to take those vitamins… cause that won’t happen until July 17th 2205!!!
You guys do you, but I cleared my schedule and bought some ISO 12312 certified protective eyewear!
On the other hand, if your photo guy really knows his stuff, I’m pretty sure he could take advantage of the unique lighting provided by the eclipse (prior to/after) to come up with some truly distinctive shots. I’d check in with him if I were you!
Merci beaucoup pour tous les informations ! Je vais aller me chercher une paire de lunettes ♡ Merci @Giselle Montreal
Sinon, tu as aussi des chances d'en trouver à La Maison de l'astronomie à Montréal, et ils ont des bons conseils si tu as des questions aussi.
With a 2 hour period of semi darkness, followed by complete darkness, followed by semi darkness, and then light again
Best to go to the South Shore to see it best, directly south of the Island. Laval is too far north, Eclipse will be Partial from Laval. Southern tip of Montreal Island is ok. The Sun has to be 100 % covered to see it best. Even 99.5 % isn't the same as 100 %. Weather looking ok, so far. Maybe some people will still have no power by then.

I've driven to South Carolina in 2017 to see the last eclipse and I highly recommend watching this one.
The most important things to have in mind are:
The most important things to have in mind are:
- Be the closest to the center of the path of totality possible. At least inside of it. You'll get more time to observe the totality
- Make sure you see the sun! Get away from any possible clouds
- Get away from human made lights. The nightsky is always more beautiful the further you get from cities
- Treat the sun like you treat it normally(don't look at it) unless you are in either of these 2 conditions :
- You wear the official eclipse glasses
- The sun is totally covered by the moon

Here's a super useful map for seeing how close you are to the centre of the path of totality! (And if you're not in the path of totality, at minimum, get yourself inside the pink lines!

For the above post, if you are just inside the pink line you should get a full eclipse for about 40 seconds, in the middle about 3.5 minutes.
