100% Totality for 33 seconds, pretty damn cool. Best part, I totally avoided the traffic:ahoy:.

My wife and I went to South Carolina to see totality. It was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, we didn't take any pictures. I never did get the SLR ready and even if I had, I'm not sure I would have remembered to take pictures of totality. It was too mesmerizing.

There were quite a few clouds which obstructed the view before totality and it even started raining for a bit. But, it cleared up just before totality and we got to see that from beginning to end. What luck!

Just awesome.

Had a ringside seat watching it on live tv but nothing like actually being there I should imagine.

:()1:Alas! we'd too much Bay area overcast-didn't see a thing; the daughter, in Oregon for the big event with 1,000,000 other insane lookie-loos, reported an immediate temperature drop of 8 degrees(total eclipse) as it passed.:yeah:

Up here all we got was 67% coverage and the highway alert electronic signage was still calling on people to turn on their headlights during the event.

100% eclipse here in DeLand, Florida. Astronomers were wrong.

Sorry, the video was interrupted by the meat wagon hauling me off to the looney bin.:har::har:

Before the clouds came I had a great projection of the Sun about 17" in diameter on a piece of tile board with those same sunspots as Rockstar shows. Photo to come.

Did you file a report with NASA detailing your finding? Miraculous I tell ya a total eclipse of the sun in Deland!
