It's hilarious ... the thread seems to be growing with the title name
each new post seems to "eclipse" the one before it
No offense to those who posted first, I just thought it was a funny coincidence

Pete: you might call this a Total Eclipse Of the Format...

The little dot in the lower left of Pete and Pablito's shots is Saturn I believe...

So here are three shots (1 min. after totality, 9 min. after and 8 min. after the end of totality. All taken with a Canon G9, mounted on a tripod next to my main light gatherer, OM-4T with 300mm and 1.4x extender. These are from the north-left coast, Seattle.

Well it's hard to compete with the big guns in capturing this moon. Some really nice images here.
The 50 Summicron isn't too bad though (see link below). I kept the exposure down to iso 160 similar to Ben with his 90 Elmarit. 50mm is my telephoto lens these days.

Thanks everyone... I was lazy tonight, so everything was taken from the balcony. The moon was in my line of sight just till totality, and then the other building blocked my view.

Excellent shots, gang!
I saw the eclipse here (between Omaha and Lincoln, NE, US) maybe 8:15pm CST, and I thought of shooting it, but I didn't have any film in the Pentax and didn't feel like doing it since the longest I have is 135mm. We did have a very nice clear view of it here, and far enough out so we don't get much of the city lights.
I didn't even think of trying the P&S on it.

I went out last night with every intension of taking photos of the eclipse... however it was so clear out, I couldn't resist taking photos of the stars instead
Here's an eclipse photo I took from last August though:

Derrick... now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about! My wife has a friend in Sacramento with a similar kit. He's full-on addicted and it sounds like he drives hours to get to where the light is OK. Locally there is an amateur observatory a few miles up-valley that is open to the public and apparently has several nice scopes, including a 20" Dobsonian. When the kids get a little older...

Haha, thanks Barrett!
John: photography was actually a segue from astronomy for me. The thing is, once I got into photography, I found I had very little time for astronomy The university here also has an observatory just outside of city limits that houses a 1.8 meter Ritchey-Chretien telescope. I've been there once and they often have open houses for people to pop into. I should go again.

Nice photos! I was out taking photos of the family looking through the telescope. However, after 3 or 4 photos from the steps, I slipped on some ice and fell on my butt. RD1 and 35/2 cron went bouncing down the stairs. I did get some good shots of the family though. Camera and lens are off to DAG. Don had some great reassurance - "It's a good thing these Eclipses happen only every 3 years!"
