I'm impressed......you've got sunspots in the first few!

And the clouds really enhanced the sun and moon imagery.

It was singularly unimpressive here. I couldn't even tell there was a partial eclipse going on in the middle of the afternoon. Oh well. You can't win them all!

Thanks for showing these - solar eclipses are so...I dunno, cosmic? But they floor me. Hopefully in 2017 we'll have clear skies here.

Around these parts, forget about viewing it! 1.8 inches rain yesterday, maybe an inch more today, plus thunder & lightning plus a tornado not far from here! That's more like Texas weather!
