Dang BIG cloud moved over through the peak. Oh well.

Here are a couple of shots. I taped the beat up glass from my welding helmet over my crappy Sony Handycam and put it on a tripod. So I was watching the eclipse on the screen.

Not award winning photos for sure. But they are mine.

They are great pics...and neat that you are in Manila to get them your self! I applaud you! A+++

And I know the difficulty of getting good eclipse pics...been ‘there’ done that...mine was at the Griffith’s Park Observatory in the late 70’s, early 80’s.

Not award winning? You have my award for saving me from missing it entirely. And those are great pictures, too!

Thank you for the ping. We were supposed to be able to see a bit of the eclipse at sunset, but as usual, it got cloudy.

Ohio - the second-cloudiest state after Washington. We even beat Oregon.

It’s really cool to see the pictures, the only way we can see most sky phenomena.
