A 'no-show' here too (Wiltshire) - disappointing - heavy cloud and rain.

I was more lucky... A single frame and a mosaic from Pietranico (PE, Italy) before/during central totality...

PS: hey, eclipse image on APOD today is awesome!

Unfortunately, nothing to see in Paris

Nothing to see here, either, in the New York City area, since the earth was in the way!
But I did received a wonderful photo from a serviceman at a forward base in Afghanistan.
Since they were under blackout conditions and he had a sensitive camera, you can see the Milky Way and its dust lanes as a background for the reddened, darkened Moon.

I've posted it on at my blog at

all the best,
