For anyone who is interested, here is one of the pictures I took of the
eclipse:

It was taken on a Nikon D70 with a TMB 175 apo refractor.

Wow! That's a keeper.

Thanks.

It was a nice event, and fortunately the clouds held off here.

You're welcome.

Unfortunately, the clouds rolled in quickly around 10:40 - so most of totality was obscured. My later shots were taken through my Questar 700 so the public could look through the TMB, and I'm afraid I wasn't able to get critical focus with the Moon so
dim.

If anyone is interested, higher resolution copies are available by email if you contact me directly.
