This meetup event is to give people some location suggestions and information about the Annular Eclipse At Honey Lake / Pyramid Lake area. Here can the attendees organize for carpooling etc. who want to go this area for the Eclipse. It takes around 5+ hours from the Bay Area to get to Honey Lake and Pyramid Lake depending on location and traffic.

This is not a hosted event but if you like to organize/lead this group let us know.
For exact location please check the map where the red center line is:

The Eclipse starts around 5pm with the partial eclipse and turns into the Annular Eclipse around 6:30pm (for exact time please check the map).
Before you decide which area you should check it out first and check for accessibility (some roads are maybe not open all the time or private property).
For Pyramid Lake you need a permit day and night use http://www.pyramidlake.us/ !

Viewing from these Lake (red center line) you'll have the moon centered in the middle of the sun.

IMPORTANT:

Always wear proper eye wear (solar viewing glasses) when looking at the sun even during the eclipse. You will also need a filter (ND filter or similar) for your camera to protect the sensor when taking pictures with telephoto/zoom lens.
