Question by R G: Is it OK to expose the camera to Sun Light ?
I took pictures of the Solar Eclipse today and I did use a filter on many occasions. But, there was one that I took without. Please check the following link and let me know whether it's OK to take pics like this.

Answer by insiderYou risk damaging your camera by focussing the sun on your sensor.....you wouldn't be the first to write off a camera doing it. And if it's an SLR or DSLR, damaging your retina, too.
But if your camera shows no ill effects and you're not seeing a blurred spot in your vision, you got away with it.
(BTW nobody else seems to have problems putting links in questions.)

Create a Total Sun Management Solution With Motorized Awning Windows
Adding a great awning to your porch is not the only issue you need to be concerned with when it comes to creating a sun management solution. There are a number of reasons why you would want to control the amount of sun that enters your home. For starters energy conservation is a big concern these days. With the rising cost of energy homeowners are finding that keeping indoor temperatures in check with alternative methods is now more important than ever.A great solution for creating some shade from the midday sun without having to add coverings to every window on your home is to install automated retractable window awnings. These great little mechanical canopies allow you to individually control the amount of light that enters each and every window of your home. Think of them like mechanical window treatments that can be open and closed at the press of a button. Essentially they offer all the convenience of shutters without any of a hassle. Think about how great it would be to be able to close the windows that are getting direct sunlight and keep the ones that are getting indirect sunlight open.What's even more amazing about some of the motorized awnings on the market is the fact that they can be programmed to open and close automatically at certain times of day. This means that you can have your windows protected from the midday sun automatically each and every day without having to think about it.Motorized awning windows truly are a great innovation. They add an extra degree of energy efficiency to your home at a very reasonable cost. This makes them a fantastic addition to your home if you plan on selling in the near future. Home buyers absolutely love this type of value added detail.Unfortunately there are not a lot of options to choose from as automatic window awnings are a fairly niche market. Sunsetter is one of the larger names in the industry however there are definitely more to choose from. If you find yourself not entirely sure what direction to take when choosing your window awnings you may want to consider speaking with an interior decorator who can probably help guide you in the right direction. Many of them have experience dealing with this new technology and would be more than willing to help for a reasonable fee.

Question by chasvanblom: Where / if does NASA have a LIVE-cam accessible for our viewing of tonight's lunar eclipse?
With all the uproar of this morning's lunar eclipse, I hope that NASA or some satellite link has (some?) posted web-link to view the moon with all this action.
Where / if is such a free web-link available?
