So, I made it to the totality zone today!

I saw great views through my telescope at my chosen site of the partial phases! Here's my setup at the site for my pre-eclipse viewing a few days ago:

My Visual Solar SetupHowever, it was a long drive from my home and I didn't want to lose precious time setting up my camera equipment at the expense of missing out on the partial phases. So, I visually observed only. For me, the best part of the eclipse was the build-up. Seeing the light changes on the ground and progress of the eclipse through the telescope was satisfying for me. Totality looked just like in pictures. I also saw Jupiter and Venus. However, I do not have any photos of my own to share.

I will however take some post-eclipse solar photos tomorrow (weather permitting) from my home so that I have a record of what the Sun looked like the days around the eclipse.
