Six minutes to totality, and cloud cover just went from nine-tenths to ten-tenths.  Can't see a damned thing.

*sigh*

I don't have any idea if there was cloud cover or not, because I just flat out forgot about it.

Then again, now that I think about it, it was raining when I got in the car to go to dinner, so there were probably clouds.

I froze my limbs off last night, but I got some good shots. I'll have to process them later this evening and upload a few.

I got out my camera and tripod and took a sighting, during one of the brief clear patches, but the 10x IS zoom isn't nearly big enough for the job, and the camera doesn't have interchangeable lenses so there's no way to mate it to my 60x spotting scope.

Nice shot. I think the lens on my Powershot Pro90IS is 35mm-equivalent to a 28-280mm or something in that order, but it's too short for astrophotography. I had a T-adapter for my 35mm SLR to mate to the spotting scope, but, honestly ... I was almost never using the camera because of the hassle of getting film developed, and then of trying to get anything more complex than portrait snaps printed right without going to a custom shop that'd charge me $50-$100 per frame.
