Oooooo, aaaaah

 

I put a solar filter on the end of my telescope and attached my phone to the eyepiece, thereby enabling us to watch the eclipse without too much squinting, although I had to keep readjusting the telescope, presumably because heavenly bodies move.

Clouds continually moved across the spectacle but we were able to mostly see it anyway.

Supposedly we were around 85% coverage but it sure looked like a skinny sliver at the peak.

It did get oddly dim and quiet in the middle, even for a cloudy day, and afterwards the birds seemed extra noisy.
