Oct 14, 2023 Solar Eclipse

3, 2, 1... cheese!

The October 14, 2023 solar eclipse will be visible all across Canada. Nationwide, we are all going to take a photo of it at the same time!

The eclipse will look different depending on where you are and illustrates the roundness of Earth. Neat, huh?

When do I take the photo?

Look for your time zone below and try to take a photo at that time.

• Pacific: 9:45 AM
• Mountain: 10:45 AM
• Central: 11:45 AM
• Eastern: 12:45 PM
• Atlantic: 1:45 PM
• NDT: 3:15 PM

Note: the Newfoundland Time is intentionally an hour ahead so there is some visibility of the eclipse.

How to take the photo?

Make sure you have a pair of eclipse glasses. Then, carefully place the filter in front of your camera lens and point it at the sun. 

This is easier if you have a smartphone tripod.

Zoom in, focus, and take the photo.
