Well, that was heaps of fun! I was a bit worried as it was quite overcast for the entire day. Luckily enough, the clouds parted to crystal clear skies just before totality. Here are a few shots. My mount doesn't have lunar tracking and I actually didn't polar align. Nor did I use any focussing software. Pretty happy given that most exposures were at least 20secs. Very obvious that the tracking was out due to star trails.
