Big Wall

At 2:00am on Sunday, after 3 hrs of sleep, we took off for Albuquerque to watch the eclipse. I took these pics thru the eyepiece of my 4" telescope with a white light solar filter on the end of it. I used a piece of $*!t Nikon Coolpics digital camera. Look closely at some of the pics and you will see some sunspots.
Just after the start

As the sun set, still eclipsed by the moon

Then we packed up and drove home. I got home at 3:40, making for almost a 26 hr day. I feel totally hung over today, but it was completely worth it.
