Pretty cool! You also clearly captured the largest sunspot to appear in
more than 20 years.

We were blessed with good weather here: clear, no haze, no wind. Was hoping
to silhouette a downtown Charleston church spire on the face of the setting
sun, but TPE was off by a bit. Next time I'll go by the day before to make
sure they line up. Used E-620 set on manual, attached to an Astrotech
refractor (about 480mm) and a Tokina RMC 2X magnifier. Filtered with
Thousand Oaks Solar film in a homemade holder:

Seattle weather strikes again. The sun only came out a few minutes before
the eclipse was over. I had made a pinhole camera to watch it, and at
about 4:05pm, I managed to see a tiny sliver of the sun shaved off. If you
look hard, you can see the slight flattening of the sun's disk at the four
o'clock position. It was actually at the ten o'clock position, but since
I'm using a projected image, it's upside down and backwards.
But hey, doesn't my Pana-Leica Summilux have great bokeh?
I also used a 300mm lens stopped down to f/22 to project the sun's image
onto my jacket sleeve. That looked better, but I couldn't photograph it.
:-) I await the vastly better pics from those of you from sunnier climes.
