Oh yeah, and I'm going to watch it live. I figure if I start mowing around 6:45, I figure I'll get a nice little break around the time the eclipse hits here.

Watching it here: SLOOH SpaceCamera - Live Event
Chat room is overloaded but the California cam and New Mexico cam are looking good.

Taken with my SGS2 Skyrocket. Only way to capture the eclipse was via lens flare. Look directly below the sun on the ground. Only 85% annularity at my position. Using a 300mm lens with a Canon EOS DSLR proved difficult at well, especially with a 15kt wind. A moving tripod is no bueno!
And of course, using augmented reality on the ipad to track the eclipse from my position:

Better than me. In Nashville, TN the sun had set before the eclipse could begin. Here's how I got to see it locally. Via Google Sky Map:
Of course there is this screenshot from SLOOH of the New Mexico camera:
Can't wait till August 21st 2017! Total solar eclipse stretches across the US. Longest view of totality is about 40 miles outside Nashville! Woo Hoo

Had to watch live feed from Petroglyph NM in Albuquerque. One BFC type cloud just covered the sun from our yard. Had my solar scope all ready. (Coronado PST before I get warned about some solar filters)

I am about two hours South of the total eclipse path. I have made plans with my family... we will all be in the umbra together 2017. I'm on my third phone with the date set in my calendar.
Two minutes thirty eight seconds worth!
