Total Solar Eclipse
2024-04-08 | Ontario
There will be a total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, the last for North America until 2044. It will not be total in Orillia but is total in Hamilton and Niagara Falls to the west and Picton, Kingston, Belleville and Brockville to the east.
Hamilton is the closest, 185 km and 2 hours.
Here are some articles on how to photograph it. You can order mylar film to put on your camera lens from Amazon but check that it is the thickness recommended by NASA. You can also buy eclipse glasses from Amazon. If you have kids or grandkids, they might have fun making a pin-hole camera out of a cereal box.
