...Just finished up here, or at least as much as we're gonna get. Definitely got darker though, and to a perfectly timed playback of 'Brain Damage/Eclipse' by Pink Floyd.

I got to see a total eclipse.

Peaked at it through a borrowed welding mask. Wasn't quite there, and we were only getting 90% anyway. Nothing to phone home about.

The sun definitely looked like someone took a bite out of it for a while, but we didn’t have enough obscuration to get the funky light show or any darkness.

Totality through the clouds

Very nice, lots of pictures. Only bad part is the the loss of heat caused a bunch of low level cloud formation in Central Texas, so we didn't see a lot of totality.

I still got 600+ photos through a 500mm lens, equivalent to a 90mm aperture telescope, so there's lots to go through

It just made everything seem like we had sunglasses on here. But the 2017 one was amazing, we were able to see totality.

My sister in Killeen got to see it too.

Maybe I shouldn’t have laughed but…
