5/8 now. Read on a tech blog today (Gizmodo) that cell cameras wont work because of a design issue.
They are correct. Shows up as a blob of light.

Take a pic through your binoculars .

I looked out again about ten minutes ago and saw a lot of red.

Shoottt....Mac, it's 29 here! The secret is to put a coat on instead of walkin out on the porch with just yer Hanes on! Took me three trips outside to figure out the right combination. It's dang near straight overhead so I gotta go plum to the end of porch to see. That's a long trot barefoot. I may throw on some boots if I go out again.

Ha! I can only leave Sweetie alone for brief periods anyway...

But at least I'm wearin' shoes.

It looks awesome here in NE OK. The moon looks like you could reach out and touch it.

@TerryMiller hope you get some pics for us.

Here's one that was the last image that I took. Took 28 photos last night towards the end of the eclipse. Any earlier, and all one would have seen was brightness without any detail. I used a tripod and set the camera to take "self-timer" shots so that I wouldn't be touching the camera or tripod when the camera actually took the image. Nikon D700 and Nikkor 200-500 mm lens.

More later, or, you all can click on the image and it should take you to my Smugmug photo and then you can use the slide show controls to see the rest.
