Glad to hear that Charlie ... not everyone was so lucky!

Yes, except we only had 42% totality here. How'd you do Charlie ... see it well, or did you have heavy clouds and some weather?
I'm sure the sky got fairly dark for you, no matter what the local weather was like!
We had clouds for a few minutes before Totality. It was completely clear when it happened. Totality lasted a little over 3 minutes. I will post a few pictures after I finish my last call for the day.

We had about 95% coverage. It was a non event as we has a thin cloud cover.
Even at maximum coverage, the 5% of sunlight coming through the clouds was distorted by the cloud cover enough that it still appeared as a round ball of light. Just less of it for a short while.

I'm running my Orion Apex 127mm (Star Max) with my Nikon D750 and a 90o diagonal on an equatorial mount with tracking drive.
Nice. :)
