It's just overcast enough here that the prominences will be obscured.

Typical Ohiya overcast for terrestrial/celestial free shows! The last time Eddie saw an eclipse, he ran naked down the street banging pots, and pans together. I followed behind fully clothed, banging coconuts together(they paid me $10).

Got my welder's shade out for a couple of quick glances. No more than 50% occlusion here at peak.
You could just make out the lower lunar limb.

Did the same here Fred......we had about 86% occlusion here with light conditions making it look like an early summer evening ........my Kitchen got as dark as you would get on a dull overcast day! deepened shadows outside never seen it like that before but total partiality here was at 10:20 am PT and 15 minutes later everything was back to normal! It was a cool event,despite us just getting a partial eclipse!Originally Posted by N8YX
Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt!
Walk and Talk like a Canajun!!
Local news claimed 80% in Pittsburgh at the peak.
I was at W3WH's in the morning, helping him make some contacts in the Solar Eclipse QSO Party. I watched some of the NASA feed in the afternoon. After that half hour of so of thunderstorm this morning, I didn't really expect to see much around here.
Little Miss Field Day was worried that LucyFurr would look at the eclipse and go blind. Not a problem; she slept on the couch all afternoon. It's what that pup does best... well, that and shed...

It was a 94% dud. I've had farts that darkened the sky more.
