Well, the skies were actually clear last night so I broke out the Seestar S30 Pro telescope for the eclipse.

Worked quite well overall.

Here are some pics.

Good shots, and lucky you.

I hauled out two of my DSLR cameras and tripods. I had a 300mm and a 200-400mm lens ready to go here in northern New Mexico. The moonrise was at 7:31, with an eclipse starting at 8:33. This gave me ample time to adjust my camera settings and take several practice shots. Precisely at 8:18, it came downpour lasting close to 1 ½ hours. I was so disgusted after an hour of rainfall that I removed the lens and packed the equipment away. I checked every half hour, but the cloud cover never lifted.
 
Yeah, didn’t think I would be able to pull it off since we got a whole bunch of rain yesterday.

Got lucky that the skies cleared.
