Not super, but here are some pics. My camera just isn't very easy to focus for shots like this.

This is from last night, since I was afraid that clouds were going to block the eclipse tonight.

The bright objects to the left and above the moon are Saturn and the star Regulus (so I've read)

Totality3

That last one was processed in Photoshop a bit to bring out some more of the background stars.

Can't wait to see if any other Voxers were able to get some good shots.

Thanks for sharing you emotions!

ありがとうございました！

@waterbaby: Me too, but my mind doesn't have a 420mm zoom :)

Thanks for all the compliments!

Nice photos! I was watching out of my window last night and I didn't understand why the total eclipse was sort of skewed to the left... so I kept waiting for it to center over the moon but it didn't lol. I like the orange color in your shots though, I definitely couldn't see that hue with the naked eye.

Really? I thought you could see it a bit, moreso on the left side of the moon than the right.

NASA has a good picture up on their website that shows how the moon moved through the Earth's shadown, it was kind of near the bottom of the circle. That's probably why it wasn't centered.

Very nice! It was so cloudy here last night, we only got a few foggy glimpses.

Great shots!! I was hoping I could find some on Vox, and Vox never lets me down.

Don't give me any "wah it was hard to focus my camera" crap! These shots came out great!! Beautiful shots!!!

But they could have been better....stupid camera :)

Thanks Sara. I know there were a few other people who were going to try to get photos. Not sure if they were successful though.

Gorgeous photos. I have to say, all the people with nice cameras (well, compared to my little point and click jobby) make me insanely jealous. I want to take great photos, too!
