Absolutely surreal what an experience for a sun flare through the telescope too

The clouds broke up a bit just in time for us in the 95-99% zone in north central, PA.  Not totally clear, but you could still see it through the clouds.

Great timing!

Had about 3 minutes of totality but that was still pretty damn amazing!!!

Totality at 313 pm Westlake, Ohio

Have to love Samsung cell cameras. No filter and 200 mega pixels.

I ended up in a church parking lot on the outskirts of Ellettsville, IN.  4 minutes and 3 seconds of totality and clouds were a complete non-issue.  It's unfortunate that the time goes by fast.

May add more later, but one thing I observed this time that did not occur in 2017 was swarming bees.  They were going nuts in the lead-up to totality.  

Also had swarming bees and wasps here.

Miracle clearing right at totality.  Clear diamond ring. Beautiful.

Aside from the surprise heavy snow we recently had on a Christmas Eve, that eclipse was one of the coolest weather moments I’ve ever had. Total darkness. Street lights came on. Could see stars. Just wow.

Absolutely incredible!!!!! We were able to get some great shots from our backyard near Prospect, OH...

Such a cool experience...The 360 degree sunset effect, seeing Venus/Jupiter, Bailey's Beads, Diamond Ring, Corona - just spectacular!!!!!

My solar filter seized on my lens so I didn't get any shots of the actual eclipse with my primary camera. 

I took a couple seconds messing with her and then decided just to watch the eclipse and enjoy it. In 2044 I'll remember to put anti seize on the threads.😆

I did get a lot of photos and video leading up to the total phase which I'll process when I get home.

It was the most incredible thing I've ever seen.  I saw the northern lights in Iceland but the most incredible thing I had seen before was at sun set as the sun was hitting Everest and the mountain kept changing colors.  Anything I saw before today isn't close to seeing the corona around the moon in totality.

So glad the gloomy cloud cover forecasts busted. High, thin cirrus did not impede the eclipse at all.

For me it interfered with it every now and then, but for the most part, just had thin wispy clouds and did not impact the viewing.  Once in a while, it would get completely covered and that only lasted a few minutes.  But max coverage (85 to 90% for me) was not impacted.

Next total eclipse for Long Island will be 2079.  Party at my place.

temperature and wind. You can clearly save the dip and rebound.

Taped the lens of the eclipse glasses to the iphone.  These were the best I got. Coming and going.  The light is a little more diffuse than in reality.  It was a real sliver, like a crescent moon

[Hiramite]

Awesome stuff!  Here’s one of many.

The big bright light on the bottom has to be the Old Man In The Moon

My son got this video from our back deck.

Great video.

Did not expect to see you dancing on the table with a lampshade on your head.  Oh wait, I think I downloaded the wrong video.  🤪

[StretchCT]

Timelapse - it was a little cloudy at first but it clears up.

What pixel model?  Also, what feature do you have to turn on to get a shot like that?  I have a Pixel 5 but I don't think mine can do that.

Hope everyone got to witness that, it was pretty incredible, especially with the flares! I didn't have any professional equipment but I did get this.

Best two I got of the moment running two cameras and being in the in the moment also not paying attention to technology was hard for 2 and a half minutes but worth it
