What will you be doing for the total eclipse on Monday August 21, 2017?

If you see this after Monday, you can still answer what you did that day.

I saw an article today that some people put sunscreen in their eyes instead of the glasses Roll

when you create a poll you have to check the appropriate box under miscellaneous options if you want the results to be public

Late to the party, but here are some pics I got. My friend's aunt lives in an area that had 100% totality, so we drove ~30 miles south and spent the night. Took my tripod/body and borrowed a longer lens from a friend. Never shot an eclipse before, so it took a little while to get things dialed in.

Yeah, I saw those and thought I had done that. I know I checked the "allow multiple choices" box. Unless both of those got cleared at some point while I was editing and previewing my post.

Can a mod fix the 'public' option for me?

while this particular poll is fairly innocuous, as you can probably understand, we can't make an anonymous poll public after the fact (and don't have the ability to do so, even if we wanted to)
