FYI,

I'm taking photos of the eclipse. We aren't in the totality area, but we'll have 95.8% Sun coverage in this area. I've already started photography.

I used to be very involved with the Cincinnati Astronomical Society. I don't do as much anymore, but I used to do a lot of sidewalk astronomy with the only telescope I still own, an 8" dobsonian that I heavily modified. I bought a camera a few years ago to photograph things like this eclipse. It's equipped with a solar filter. I'm taking periodic photos. Near totality occurs at 1514 local (Eastern) time for us.

At this juncture, around 20% of the sun is covered. I'll post photos as soon as I get them loaded.

So cool! Just watched it, we happen to be in the totality area, WOW!!!

Can't wait to see your pics!

Here are the photos. You'll see sunspots in some...

Wow. Very cool. Here in central California we had about 30% coverage. I took a quick risky look at about 11:30am pst. I could just make out the moon in front.

Great shots!

In the San Francisco Bay area we were 33% occluded. It made nice pattern of shadows with a colander.

What an amazing event totality was. I got to see it from my back yard and I can't describe how cool it was. I've never seen a picture come close to doing justice to what was up there today.

Now THAT'S really cool!

I saw the 2017 total eclipse in Columbia, Missouri. Amazing. Great pictures Diane!

Wow! Great pictures!!
My wife and I drove 5 1/2 hrs from central PA to Schenectady NY, to my sister's, then the next day we drove another 2 1/2hrs to Ticonderoga NY to pick up another sister and drove about 20 miles further north and found a little park and saw 2min and 10sec of totally. Had a blast just being together and luckily the sky was clear enough for a spectacular show. So glad we went.
