I had a trip booked to Dallas but cancelled a few days ago since the weather was looking so bad. Lame!!!

Hopefully they don't have a good view down there  8)

Looking like my area is going to have partly cloudy but still quite sunny as it's suppose to get close to 80 degrees here. So I'm expecting a decent amount of sunshine to see totality.

I'm hoping to be able to use my Vaonis Hestia scope for my phone to get some good pics over the course of the eclipse. I really want that totality shot with the suns corona

I'm just off of the path of totality but the weather is great today.   will try my best to burn my eyes to a crisp by ignoring all precautions.

nice day today so far. Fingers crossed it stays this way through totality at least

Pop in a car and drive! Full totality is the really cool part.

Right. Just last week it was looking like rain and clouds and these past couple days its gradually gotten a better forecast so we are sitting pretty good right now.  I threw on my eclipse glasses just to check out the sun since there is a little really thin layer of clouds here and there, but it doesn't seem to be hampering anything so far.

this will be my first totality experience.  I'm excited even if more clouds roll in

That was EPIC!

Looks like Indiana was the best place to have viewed totality with some of the clearest skies

Could you see the solar flair with your eyes?

Yep! It wasn't like super detailed but you could see red dots on the sides of the moon. It was probably one of the most insane things I've witnessed. There's nothing like it when it's full totality.

I got some cool pics with my vaonis Hestia. But I need to do some clean up to the images and stack into a Timelapse. Most of the images auto stack so they are pretty much ready to go. I just want to equalize the blacks as much as possible

My totality shot came out a little blurrier than I hoped but I wasn't very concerned with fixing cause I didn't want to have my face in my phone trying to make it clear
