Hey Y'All,

I'm getting ready to view the total solar eclipse...

Here's my attempt to show a partial using the special disposable glasses on my camera phone...more to come :cool:

Looked great with the naked eye...couldn't get my phone camera to do it justice. Anyone else have better luck?

Coverage was ~80-90% here in NC. Was able to get a great view through youtube for Dallas. They had ~4 minutes of darkness and it was pretty amazing to see.

We only had a ~50% eclipse in California, but I got a look at it through my welding hood. Pretty cool.

We had 94% here in Chicagoland. Had the same experience/luck with the iPhone photo that Craig had. I was surprised it didn't get darker, but it was still very impressive. The dog didn't find it that interesting, though.

This was the best I could do with the automatic settings on my iPhone camera. We drove about half a hour to Wooster Ohio to get into the path of totality. It was really a lot darker. The sun was black with just the corona around the edges of the moon and a solar flare at 7 o'clock. I got to share this with my wife and daughter's family and it was awesome!

A great day and everyone was prepared.

I came out to my parent's place in AR from central OK. I took a picture every 30 seconds with my 10" Newtonian to produce a time-lapse video, later. I also took some cellphone pics during totality.

These are the cellphone pics I took during totality. The brighter one was a longer exposure to pickup Venus and Jupiter which were visible to the naked eye.

These three are when the moon occluded the prominent sunspot on the surface of the sun.
