THAT'S THE NEXT STEP UP.

THIS IS A NICE TABLETOP TELESCOPE WITH THIS TYPE EQUIPMENT.

BUT FOR THOSE WITH TELESCOPES, ALWAYS REMOVE THE FINDER BECAUSE THIS IS NOT FILTERED.

YOU WANT ACCIDENTALLY LOOKING INTO THAT.

THIS IS FAIRLY LONG CLIP, SAYS IT HOPES IS IF YOU'RE IN THE OF TOTALITY OVER 4 MINUTES OF TOTALITY.

AND SO DURING THAT TIME, ANIMALS THINK THAT IT'S NIGHT TIME COWS RETURN TO THE BAR AND SQUIRREL'S NEST CRICKET'S TOP CHIRPING.
