Shot through a small telescope with & without solar-filter(s), concurrent picture-in-picture view of the area, captions,…very nicely done for 1991.
From what I’m told– “that’s what it looks like.”

> 3 minutes of amateur youtube video of the ’91 eclipse.
Total Solar Eclipse – July 11, 1991
https://youtu.be/XtSLZFItx5o

I have 90 minutes of really good vhs tape, but not converted to digital or uploaded anywhere. Includes a dinner-presentation to Dr. Levy, town-scenes, and beach scenes of everyone w/ their telescopes/cameras set up, and 7 minutes through a small 4 inch telescope of the eclipse.

This one short clip does however, give you an idea of the setting in this little coastal Mexican town on the Baja peninsula, 100% totality zone. (There’s better available but I’m not that industrious today.)
Excuse the quality, but the light-balance on this old video is fairly representative of the how dark it became. Happened mid day & with perfectly clear weather. (birds came out)
Town-folk held a giant parade the night before.

Wayne: See the graphic on this page to get an idea where totality will be.

I’m willing to travel for this, if I can get my g-daughter close to totality, I’ll do it. (& we’ll sleep in the car!)
Have amateur & pro- video of the ’91 eclipse, and numerous excellent amateur shots of totality. (including that “green flash” thing that happens)

Ted– the only compensation I have for the “memory thing,” is the internal-confidence (Hope) that I’ve probably forgotten more than some people, ever knew originally.
(not to be an elitist snob, I’m an average-nobody, but I’m d-sure I’m not the only one who can see the Craziness going on In the World today.)

Wayne: The track for totality across the U.S. is somewhat narrow. You will not see totality in Michigan, just a partial eclipse.

I made reservations in a hotel in Idaho Falls, inside totality, the first day reservations were accepted. They already were half taken, and were charging about $800 per room, about 8x what they normally charge. I took it. I have never seen a total eclipse, and this chance won’t come again.

-I have the original 24X36 print hanging on my wall. It’s absolutely amazing.
My dad was a total amateur-astrophotographer- but he waited his whole life to see an eclipse & made the best of it photographically. (A Sky & Telescope Eclipse Tour, the Science Guest Host was Dr. Levy (I think… it could have been Shoemaker.)

I remember a bunch of us standing outside waiting for this to happen and it was some what disappointing. I had seen darker days during thunderstorms.
