Well it was a night with lots of tension again. During the day the sky was clear with little if any cloud. As night fell the sky started to get some minor periods of cloud despite the forecast. The for most of the partial phase leading into totality it was clouding and resigned ourselves to it being clouded out. However, I just stuck with it and hope for the best. Finally just minute before totality was predicted it cleared out and our little party fell witness to a very dark orange moon with just a small section of brightness along the limb of the moon. I took images with my Canon 5D mark III and my TSA102. This image is a crop and resampled down in resolution and also about the best of around 50 images.
