Whoever provided the wise advice not to look directly into the sun during the eclipse clearly did not live in Pittsburgh! We had a typically cloudy, albeit beautiful, day. The sun bravely tried to come out, and eventually did, for a very short time. I was prepared with 13 stops of neutral density filters, but pretty much 0 would have worked, except for about five minutes at the peak when the eclipse finally showed itself and said ‘Here I am!’
