Crystal clear here in Seattle. This is fun stuff...and anyone that complains
about it being off topic can bite me.

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.
