Sony A100? Thats a pretty good pic. I've got 100+ shitty shots of the eclipse on my Canon A570IS point and shoot just west of DFW.

Any site streaming video from somewhere with a clear view?

 

[bobsmith1492]

It's almost gone...

Going red in EST now, about half covered. Doesn't look like it will take the purported 50 minutes.

 

[xanis]

God damnit I think I missed it. I can't seem to find the damn thing because I'm in the city and I have like 2 windows in my apartment.

 

[indamixx99]

go outdoors man... you shouldn't be viewing this thing indoors anyways!

 

[bladder23]

its cloudy as heck where i am in Tucson...

 

[aphex]

wow, talk about a thick overcast... i think im done viewing for the night...

Onto other news, is the weather holding to let them shoot that sucker out of the sky?

 

[AbAbber2k]

Can't see it here in NW Washington... I think it's behind the hill I live on. Maybe I'll get lucky and it will get high enough to see before it ends.

2 crappy pics i took with my Canon SD1000. Not so good for long distance or long shutter time.

It's brownish red.

Here on the West Coast it'll last from 7:01PM to 7:51PM, with it's reddest at mid-eclipse.

 

[theknight571]

Just froze my backside watching it here... pretty cool.

Can we schedule the next one for a warm summer evening though?

 

[Epic Fail]

looks like mars.

Far southeast side. The clouds have just started moving in now so my last few pics aren't as good.

Finally popped up over the hill a few minutes ago. Wish I had a nice camera.
