Hey y'all
Jimi Lowrey, John Hoey, Paul and Debbie Alsing and myself are boondocking in a national forest north of John Day, OR to catch the eclipse.
What's everyone doing?
Clear skies and happy eclipse viewing!

I'm in Spain near Madrid and will set up a solar telescope to try and observe a tiny partial eclipse just before sunset. Enjoy the total eclipse!

We came to Valentine NE (site of the Nebraska Star Party) to do some deep sky observing and use it as a launching pad towards clear weather. Weather is looking iffy along the I80 corridor in NE so we may be moving westward towards Casper in Wyoming.
Anyone near Casper to give a traffic report?

Backyard, with a white-filtered C5+. It was nice! Two groups of spots eclipsed. We had about 77% eclipsed by area.
