Here was the eclipse shooting setup, as you can see the clouds made things interesting. Me and scope lower right, with the 300mm lens mid-lower-left part of the frame. Note green blob from lens flare near the cabin shows the sun being eclipsed.

Saturday's Moon sinking into the trees. This is a nice representation of what it looked like visually; orange and with some earthshine. The moon is about 5% illuminated and 2 days old.
