Here's something a little different regarding the April 8th Total Solar Eclipse. I had my PegasusAstro Ultimate PowerBox v2. running during the morning of the eclipse and taking temperature readings every 10 seconds.
This is a graph I made from the data output in an Excel spreadsheet. It is interesting to see the max dip lag behind the actual totality by a few minutes. The very strange gain in temp on the far left of the graph is because my mount was in the shade until around 11am local time.
That's really neat Greg! Between the videos and pictures and now this, you've got that eclipse well documented!
Very interesting, thanks for the share!
