Wasn't traveling 80 miles to experience 5 minutes of darkness under a mostly cloudy sky; can experience ~12 hrs. of that tonite.

Here's what it looked like at maximum occlusion as the sun peeked out for 6 seconds.

W00T.

Taken with phone.   The cool one was a friends phone with a camera filter.

Was just outside the prime zone so didn't see totality of it but had a nice afternoon out in the yard, great weather and a nice clear sky.  Taken with my telescope + camera.  Could find the right pc to fit between the camera and scope so really was just the camera using the scope as a 2000mm lens, would have like to have gotten the sun/moon in a full shot.

Retired with nothing going on for the day, so decided this will be our last opportunity at our age to see another total eclipse.  Drove about 2-hrs to be on the centerline down in Ohio.  For us it was well worth the experience.

So we had our special "2024 Solar Eclipse" sunglasses, had our chairs set up perfectly in the backyard, raincoats on (IT WAS STORMING), and could not even find the sun!  :(  Meanwhile, my kids traveled to Solar Eclipse parties in different parts of the country and had a blast, took great photos...  SO.  I have decided.  We are off to Western Iceland for the Aug 12, 2026 Total Solar Eclipse  (volcanos be damned.)   I have been to Iceland before,  it was June, and froze my butt off... it was windy, it was bleek and grey, sleeting the whole time, no flowers, no greenery, just greys, just sayin.   https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/plan-now-for-the-2026-total-solar-eclipse-in-europe/      🌎   🌋
