Sadly, I got nothing but cloud cover here. When is the moment of Totality suppose to be? I might check the weather report and find out if I can get some clear skies. THEN if I do, I'm gonna go to Wal-Fart and buy the biggest telescope they sell, use it tonight, then return it tomorrow lololool.
Say whaaat.

Disappointing, I was rushed to snap in between clouds.

Bahh

In fact the best shots I had was just the moon coming through the clouds.

Canon Rebel xti + http://www.wolfcamera.com/product/541163283.htm . My good lenses are not telescopic sadly.
I'll have my new tele friday. I'm just getting in to astrophotography. It's not easy to walk into.

Lol, I know what you mean. If you want to do deep sky shots, get ready to dish out some cash for a decent tracking mount.

Hey Kmarion, I got into astrophotography for awhile myself. I used an old Pentax that my grandfather had though. Have you thought of hooking up your camera to a telescope and taking photo's that way? I heard it is an effective way of getting really nice shots.
