Not a very good picture but here is mine

I couldn't get my DSLR to focus in my telescope. I've taken hundreds of images with it thought my telescope, but I just couldn't get it to focus today.

So I was stuck just using my cell phone via the eye piece.

The telescope is a Celestron C8 (8" 8 schmidt cassegrain style telescope) using an AstroZap white light filter and a 24mm eye piece. The camera was my Google Pixel phone.

I've annotated the image since it isn't completely clear to some when they see it.

I so wish I could have gotten focus on my DSLR.

We only got to 74% eclipse here in the NYC area. This image was taken a little before we hit that 74% mark.

Actually that is a great picture. You should be extremely happy with that.

My buddy took a 101mm Hydrogen Alpha telescope to Beatrice, NE and they were mostly clouded out. They said it did clear up a bit, but lots of clouds.

We had clouds too, but they were thin clouds so we could usually see the sun the entire time. You could see haze in the eye piece most of the time, but the sun was always visible.

Did you use a solar filter?

I agree that @dralarms picture was impressive!

Nope, I was taking total eclipse pictures and that was the last shot I was able to take because it was coming back out and was very bright

I watched the whole 1-1/2 hour show. Now where can I store these eclipse glasses until 2024, so I will remember where they are? Hmmm.[/QUOTE]

Simple, put them with your wine. You'll never forget where you keep that

Printed on ours was a note that they "expired" in 3 years. Might want to check yours.

These photos are from a recent "Puppy Hike" taken by Sadie and I into PA Game Lands #37 using a SSE access road. I believe the field shot may be early growth on one of a number of Fall Food Plots that are planted in the Game Lands...

A 4-5 minute drive gets me to a trail head in Hills Creek State Park where I'll often take my puppy for a short hike. At times I'll take a different route home that adds a few minutes to the commute but affords my some really beautiful scenery to view...

That cat isn't going to be long for this world if it does that to the bear you've seen in your yard, they're omnivores, aren't they? Be a nice small pre-lunch snack for that bear.
