The City of Kyle Public Library Astronomy Club hosted viewing of the annular solar eclipse of 14 October 2023. The Library also pitched in with extra viewing glasses, a case of bottle water, and a bucket of sidewalk chalk. We gave out 22 pairs of glasses, 12 from the club and 10 from the library. About 30 people attended, many staying up to an hour past maximum.
From Kyle, Texas, we were not on the "Ring of Fire" path, but one of the viewers reading her cellphone reported that we would be at 88.9% coverage.
Helping the crowd, I never got to take a photograph with my 102 mm refractor.
