Best I could do with my DSLR and the clouds. I need a longer lens the 105mm I have wasn't cutting it. I probably should of just got a proper filter for my telescope and eyepiece adapter for the camera and used that.

Yea I had my long lens on the DSLR I’ll have to post a few good ones later.
Pic I took from across the street from my house...no filter, no editing, shot in Manual mode, some F and shutter speed lol...don't recall. Actually looks better than I thought it was going to based on what I saw pressing the remote shutter lol...
The app for the telescope water marks it

Somewhere around 2:30ish i remembered that I had made that custom filter for my DSLR (which I rarely use anymore) back in 2017. So I didnt get
any pics of the first 20-30 minutes of the eclipse but it worked pretty well considering I couldn't really remember how to adjust the manual settings. My long lens is a 70-300 so pretty much all of these are at 300.
Used night mode at first, then I was actually able to use full Auto at some point because I turned the flash on once it got semi dark. I stopped taking pics around 3:50pm i had to get on a work call for 4pm plus it got real cloudy anyway.
For zero real prep I am pretty happy with these. Maybe by 2044 I will learn to use the camera better. Probably not.

No worries. In all the wandering we did I'm sure we passed by each other at some point.
The whole effort was worth it. Even the 9 hour drive home 🤮

Took us 4 hours to get back to lake george. But it was amazing!!
We were amazed how cold it got during the eclipse.

it certainly FELT colder during the peak, but my weather station recorded a temperature change of <2degerees F, kind of amazing what radiant heat contributes to perception huh?
