Here we go! From SE Michigan ~20 minutes ago. Clear skies despite partly/mostly cloudy forecasts.

Note: Sunspots in lower left of sun.

Right around max occultation here 25 minutes ago. The crickets are in evening chriping mode. :D

Sunspots re-emerging as the moon heads for the exit.
Great viewing here for most of the eclipse, though it's now quite cloudy.

We had a bit of rain and clouds throughout the eclipse, but there was enough blue sky for this timelapse composite. Here in Maryland, we had approx. 80% totality, and really wonderful shadows, i.e, leaves acted like hundreds of pinhole cameras, at maximum coverage. It was fun.

My favourite thus far. - from NY Times feature (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/08/21/science/eclipse-reader-photos.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=photo-spot-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=0)

I used an old manual Pentax A* 300/4 lens on a similarly old Vivitar 2x TC for the sun shot. A crop body (K-3) helped with reach.

The shadows were probably more interesting and made a unique shot a lot more feasible.

Matt, that second shot is awesome!

New favourite: Awesome Awning PinHole by MattBurt. Superb!

Great shadow pic, Matt!
I've attached a cloud-heavy pic from near the end of my sequence. Had a blast today, letting neighbors and one of the guys who takes care of my greenery look at the partially eclipsed sun via both camera LCD and solar glasses. Lotsa smiles. :D
Now that I've got a good solar rig and pic-taking method put together, think I'll do more such observation.

Thanks!
I had to get the obligatory solar disc shot and let people (friends) look through my camera but once it peaked I was happy to pursue the other shots on my own! 8)

Thanks Dave, I like the clouds. I wouldn't have minded a few here.
Good shot too. It's fun to share the geekery with others!

That is an awesome photo. Well done!
Here are my plain vanilla standard eclipse shots from Oregon. We had about two minutes of totality and I spent most of it being awe struck. The moment when we entered the shadow was the most dramatic - after gradually getting darker for thirty minutes, the light suddenly dimmed over a two second period and we were plunged into semi-darkness, much darker than I was expecting and almost as dark as middle of the night with a full moon. It was instantly colder and... spooky, mind-bending, magical. I don't know what else to say. Very other-worldy. It ended way too soon.
We drove up into Mt. Hood National Forest the night before - no traffic. Approaching from the north on National Forest road 46 we found very few people north of Breitenbush, at center of totality. Easily found a beautiful campsite off of a side road - no one else around, just deer stomping around all night. Returned the following morning after totality - no traffic. Despite the dire predictions about traffic, we could have easily driven up into the mountains the morning of the eclipse. A very non-stressful, relaxing and awe-inspiring day which I will never forget.

Fine work, all.

Thanks to everyone for sharing their images.
Here's a cloudy partial eclipse from Maine. This is near maximum coverage for the area.

Great photos everyone. Matt, the crescent shadow photo is superb. Terry, thank you for your kind words!

Very atmospheric! Ideal, really.

A great set of images. Thanks to all who posted.

I have a lot to go through, but I processed this one early this morning.

Really nice John. Are those 'Bailey's Beads" I see on the right?

Yes sir, and thank you! I have about 400 telephoto shots to go through. I spotted this one quickly though. Pretty good detail on the beads.

Nice one!

Just finished processing this one. I'm enjoying working through these, processing is quite a bit different than what I usually do. It's difficult to pull out as much detail as you want.

Thanks Terry!

Like that black and white shot.

Cool.

I REALLY love this photograph. To me, these types of photographs evoke more of a deep feeling of wonder than the actual eclipse itself.
Great work!

Hi,
Made a Timelapse with telescope, ecuatorial mount and H-Alpha filter. I guess being a time it is allowed here :-)
This was in Mexico in the town of San Luis Potosi.
Look at this link https://vimeo.com/230697735
Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching

i can hear it made some impact... ;)
-
Nice Baily's beads!
There really is a very short time between totality and diamond ring - about 5 to 10 seconds - in which some form of beads are visible.

+1 Very effective (the time lapse, that is, and the use of Strauss, I suppose!) :)

Probably one of my last posts from the eclipse. I finally did a composite, I think the rule is you have to do one :)

Astrophotographer Damian Peach has posted a lovely HDR eclipse image. I've included it as a click-to-view link rather than a direct image 'cuz the pic is pretty big.
