What A Night For An Eclipse

[Speed]

Despondent, Joyous, Depressed, Ecstatic...

Those were my emotions waiting for the eclipse. We had 10 or 12 days of evercast weather (Despondent). Then, Tuesday night, it cleared (Joyous). Wednesday was clear, until lunch time, when it started to cloud up again (Depressed). Finally, about 8:30, it started to clear (Ecstatic). It clouded up on me again right before totality, which was a MAJOR bummer! But I got some shots before that happened.

I shot with the Coolpix 5700 on a tripod, my N80 on a tripod, and my K1000 attached to my Celestron C-8. All told, about 70 frames as near as I can tell. Here a few from the Coolpix. Reduced for PR, but otherwise staight out of the camera. I may try cropping some of them later. The N80 and K1000 shots will follow next week.
