Im suffering from an acute case of solar eclipse anxiety; maybe you’re free to relate.
The realization hit too late, leaving me with instant regret.
That something is that something might go wrong.

Whats that old saying about the best-laid plans?
High stakes
Ive been looking forward to this eclipse for years, and for good reason.
Its trajectory will extend from Texas and pass through states to the northeast, reaching into several Canadian provinces.

And Im sure many of you are feeling the same way, whether for these or other reasons.
My gear is ready to go: a pair of robotic telescopes, each with their own solar filters.
Ill have roughly three minutes to do this at my location.
I mean, its not as if images of the eclipse wont be readily available afterwards.
But I also want to take some cool images.
