The picture isn't super high quality, but that might as well be a 5 instead of a 6, so you're probably right
Oh boy I just turned into one of those "well actually" guys. I wasn't trying to prove anything wrong. It got me interested in the 1906 eclipse and when I started looking into it things didn't quite line up. This post spurred my curiosity!
You might be right; the '6' written on the photo could well be a '5'. I'll change the title.
Definitely a 5, the top part looks angled like a 5. 👍🎯
If I look at this picture do I need those special glasses so I don't go blind ?
That guy might have enjoyed the best view of the eclipse in history. Just him and his camel buddy. That's incredible.
