Well, here are my shots. Can't wait to see what the Astrophotography folks get.

There was light cloud cover.

Glad I at least get to see some photos of it. We were completely clouded over last night and didn't get to see it.
Not that I would've been able to stay awake for it anyway.

Cape Cod had cloud cover also

Nice photos for your effort of a late night/ early morn.

I set my alarm and got out of bed at 2 AM but it was raining.

Nice shots. I stayed up in the vain hope for clear skies. I think that makes three in a row. Thanks for sharing.

Bummer about the clouds and rain. But, supposedly we'll get another chance in 6 months.

Can't wait to try again. I was bummed about the lack of sharpness in the full eclipse shots. There really was motion blur when I tried longer exposures. Shorter exposures required much higher ISO. This was shot at 1250. F 6.3, but with a teleconverter that is already almost wide open. 0.4 seconds.

Hope you all get a clear sky for the next one.

I set my alarm to get out of bed, but was too tired to do anything more than turn the alarm off. I'm kinda bummed that I missed it. Glad to see your pictures.
