1 In the morning, I practiced with my camera, telephoto, and solar filter in the driveway before we headed over to the observatory at Wesleyan
2 I didn't realize until I viewed the photos later on my computer that I had captured a series of sunspots across the face of the sun!
3 The eclipse starts!

5 This was about 20 minutes before maximum, but probably the point at which we had the thinnest cloud cover.
6 Shortly after maximum obscuration, thick cloud cover came in. The glow in the photo are the clouds, not any solar flares or corona.
7 We had another brief period of thinning clouds as the eclipse wound down, allowing some fairly clear shots
