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.

those are as good or better than any others I've seen. It was too cloudy at my house to see any part of the specticle.

Ha! Same here.

OP, thank you for sharing. It is way cooler to see a local's pics than some from a news story.
