I held my little digital camera up to the eyepiece of my binoculars to get this next shot. I was unable to hold the combo very steady for the long exposure, so I posted the least blurry of the bunch.

In Case You Missed It...
Here is what the eclipse looked like from my neck of the woods. The clouds kindly dispersed right when things got interesting. We had a great view of the red moon at totality. Regulus and Saturn are also visible in the first photo.

Oooooooo... Ahhhhhhhhh...

Damn good thing someone got to see that show! I was going to try to slip outside tonight and see if I could see anything but certain things kind of got in my way - like my daughter having to go to her girlfriend's house, son-in-law working at his part-time second job and me stuck in the house with the two little hooligans, one of which was having a feud with me most of the evening over who was the boss -me or her! (I finally won! Well, for tonight anyway.) But anyhow, there was no way I could slip out and watch anything!
We had lots of quickly-moving clouds, but still managed to get a good peek at the action.
You did great with the pics for not having a very long lens. Well done!
Great photos. None of mine came out. The sky was so clear here - for the first time all that day. It was lovely.
I should have dressed better. I was out in the driveway wearing flip-flops and sweats. I thought I'd just look and run back in but it was so beautiful that I stayed out for a long time.
LL - you missed a good show. Was the earthquake a consolation prize?
jeni - awww, that stinks being too busy to see it.
tiff - we had thin clouds early, but they vanished just at the right time. These pics turned out much better than the ones I took of the last eclipse.
dianne - it was a little chilly, but not uncomfortable.
Beautiful pictures! I got a quick look, unfortunately it was cloudy. I wish it had been the night before, when the sky was crystal clear. Still, it was awesome. I've seen some really nice pix of it today online too.
I was so pissed at myself for forgetting!
I took pictures also, but yours actually look good. I live in a forest. There was just a bright globe through the trees with mine.
Damn it! I missed it!
Cool! I went to bed, so I missed it. Thanks for posting pics.
