The eclipse

Had to drive around my neighbor to get to clear skies, but got a few good shots of it.

Looks great. Nice and clear photo.

I had a special filter over the lens so I wouldn't burn up the camera. Worked well. That's about 86% coverage.

We just watched our news here and pictures of it. They were so so.
I showed my misses this one of yours. She loved it. 👍

Great grab. I thought there'd be more eclipse posts in here. Hope you don't mind me piggybacking on your post. I imaged the entire sequence from Paoli, IN. DSLR mated to a 72mm telescope. It was a breath taking experience. I'm very surprised how the images turned out.

Great shots smokey and 1320! I didn't take any pictures from Oregon, but I did get to see our 30 % show. It was less cloudy than predicted here.

I had to drive around about in a 15 mile circle to get to a clear sky area. Not bad though.

Nice! It was cloudy in Middle TN but still got a view of it.

I'm glad its over too. Stressful trying to find a place to see it.

Alright, but my pics look like crap compared to those already posted. We didn't get totality here, just 98%. So this is what I got with my phone and a cheap filter:

But here's a related one that might be interesting. This is a screenshot of an astronomy app on my phone showing how the whole solar system was lined up during the eclipse. The sun is the bright white in the middle, with the black moon in front of it. And a whole bunch of planets and a comet all lined up beside it.

They're called prominences but yeah, everyone calls them flares including me. They were actually naked eye visible.

Same! I was glued to cloud radar predictions for two weeks. Made the decision Monday morning on location and prayed.

From my yard In Pei. My camera gots night sight so it looks brighter than it should.

Heres my two cents. I live in the path of totality but decided to travel to get to where it lasted much longer. Glad I did! This was just south of Conneaut Ohio...
