Except right at totallity, when the clouds covered for ten minutes, which was unlucky. Here where I live in Delaware, it was very clear.

I wish I had a Lens fitting to a MEADE (I wish I had a MEADE period) for my camera. Anyway I managed to fish out the best and put them in a set on my flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/chris1051/sets/72157603950943346/ One thing I thought was cool, and correct me if I am wrong people, but I was zoomed in at a focal length of 200mm and I used a 1/13 exposure and when zoomed in to this picture: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chris1051/2281180700/ (view at original size by clicking on "All sizes" at the top of the photo in flickr) if you look in the lower left at Saturn, you can see the rings' shadow! I believe that is awesome. No telescope. (makes me want one even more) And my favorite planet :) I thought I would miss out too with clouds and sleet (as forecasted) but I really lucked out.
