The clouds are certainly not cooperating here. I can kind of see it but the clouds make it very blurry. :(
Still have 25 minutes until totality though, hopefully something will change...

All dark now, came in to charge the notebook I'm using with my USB cam for my 4" reflector. I can take pics and video with it. If I could have found a reduction lens similar to a Barlow I could have got the whole moon at once. Too much magnification. Planned on using my telephoto lens with my Sony DSC F717 for those pics but after 2 days searching gave up looking. Somewhere in storage is a box with all that gear. Oh well next lifetime I guess. Got to get back out before moon starts coming back to life. It is so clear here it's just not fair to all those in the cloudy east of me.

Only a couple clouds here, it's nearly entirely clear. I've gotten a whole bunch of photos, I'll post the better ones in a bit.

Light pollution and stuff here makes it an almost impermeable dome, could make out slight moon shape though

The clouds parted earlier just in time for totality. It was very nice. I sat outside for about an hour watching it.

No clouds, but the forest doesn't help much. Kinda low in the sky when it was full covered. But I got out to a field just in time to see white come back to the edge... Almost missed it, took my son to see his grandparrents and got a call from lill brother. Not really mad I got poor pics, it's the experience I will remember. My son and I saw full cover, and though he may not remember it, I'll get to tell him all about it when he's 19 and it happens again.

Looked on ebay for a reduction lens in case I ever get a chance to get the whole moon in total eclipse and they were pricey at just under 300. I think it will be cheaper to find a telescope camera that does not stick me with 10mm. Something like a selectable 14 to 24 mm would be great.

Three more. Have 108 pics but time consuming to look at them all to find the best ones. Tried to get the red but there is so much light pollution here the auto white balance lowers the camera sensitivity far too much. For a hundred bucks you would think the software and camera would have a manual setting.

Here in Michigan the weather started out slightly overcast but cleared up by midnight for a spectacular finish. Unfortunately my telescope is basically a toy so my viewing experience was limited.

My computer was refusing to recognize my SD card, so sorry for the delay in pictures. I don't have a telescope, or a fancy camera, so these are just with a little digital point-and-shoot and a tripod I borrowed.
