@confusedcharlot I was mostly in it for the watching and didn't plan well enough to have my better cameras charged, but I did end up successfully pointing my smartphone camera through my telescope to get a few decent shots!

Here are a few more or less at random, I might put together an animation or something later, we'll see!

@confusedcharlot Portland was socked in with clouds, so I drove out to the other side of the mountains to get out from under them.

Bonus shots: a cloud passing in front of the half-eclipsed moon, the mostly-visible moon reflecting in the river, and a shot of sunset at the replica Stonehenge where I set up 🙂

if we assume from now on that google can't source good info, it may be time to move to a "have a collection of reputable sites and use their internal search, or use site:domain"
