Looking forward to this as I will be in the area of total eclipse.

Well, that was a surprise.
I expected more grind and less nsfw.
This is not a drill. The eclipse is tomorrow. I repeat, the total solar eclipse is tomorrow. Last time we were able to view one in the states was 79. 🌚

I need to read these more carefully. I thought you said the last time there was a total eclipse visible in the States you were 79. There have been a bunch of them since you were that young! ;D

:D Last one was 1979. I was 24. 8) I'll never see 79.
"The solar eclipse will spread across the U.S. from Lincoln Beach, Ore., where a partial eclipse will begin at 9:05 a.m. PST on Aug. 21. The total solar eclipse will begin there at 10:16 a.m. The total eclipse will then move from the West Coast to the East Coast, ending near Columbia, S.C. at 2:44 p.m. EST. In all, the eclipse will take just about an hour and a half to traverse the country. In each place where the total solar eclipse can be viewed, it typically lasts no longer than two minutes and 40 seconds."

Looks pretty cool.
Glad i can see it from the backyard.
Not particularly 'total' around here.
It clouded up and rained here. :P
Some cloudiness early on, but it cleared up here.
Sun was noticeably dim and lacking heat.
Some cool pics here. The one with the Home Depot lit up in the background is pretty cool.

Wrong country.
we were supposed to see a x% of sun coverage . . .

Entirely too far from the path to even see anything, much less notice any change in sunlight.
I got a great look at it today about 5min before peak.
Think it was about 60% or so by us (upstate NY). Welding goggles worked quite well.
2024 it will track across the Adirondacks with 100% totality.

I sent you an email about the eclipse. Lets just say they come out of the woodwork! [laugh]

Here's one of my shots.

That's pretty bad ass. What camera etc., were you using?
Thanks, I was right on the line of max totality on Bureau of Reclamation land on the Wind River Reservation west of Shoshoni, Wyoming. Not another soul on the horizon and no crazy traffic getting there from Montana. I was just shooting with my old Nikon D800 and a 200-500mm Nikon zoom. Not really knowing what I was doing, I just bracketed nine frames per shot. I had my older D700 with some super-wide angle lenses as a back-up. lHere's my set-up and location.

Awesome shot. And that is a pretty awesome spot of the state. I used to travel through there on a frequent basis years ago. I never minded the drive through Wind River Canyon.
Ripper shot.
What time of day was it? Ok I reread the OP, some time between 10am and 3pm.
Cool!
